There’s a reason we tried to trade back into the draft to grab Caldwell, at tac cup level he was a gun with all the tools.Caldwell could be a star. He could also be no more than an average player.
You can say he is a much better player than Dunstan but by that stage of his career, Dunstan had shown much more than Caldwell has. Nothing he has produced at AFL level this far suggests he is some rarity in the AFL system.
I watched dunstan in the championships and he was very good for SA but obviously was going to struggle to produce at the same level in the AFL. I could give you the usual opportunity, injuries and strength of list arguments but ultimately Caldwell has the tools to be a gun, dunstan unfortunately doesn’t.
All players carry risks and some obviously never live up to expectations, I’d still rather take my chances with A grade potential than C grade.
