So dogs 2016 premiership player Caleb daniel contracted, who is 171 cm, played 175 games in 10 seasons from 2015-24 is overs?

But Liam Baker out of contract that is similar height and similar player is worth pick 14?

felt like coming up against his old side first up painted a good picture of why him moving on was for the best for his future at afl level.

Joel Freijah was the one who realistically pushed him out of the dogs’ best 22 and he is much better suited to the open running style we try to play off half back. Daniel is too slow, doesn’t have the athleticism and while his kicking is great when he’s on (he had 6 turnovers on Saturday night so he was a bit off) it doesn’t open the game up to the level of Freijah and Dale who are our preferred running defenders.

He’s best 22 for north though so it was a good move for him.

I guess the million dollar question is... how much of that was down to Daniel's ability, how much was down to his team-mates not making leads into space, and how much was normal game-one-in-a-new-team teething problems.

They were probably all factors to some degree. He certainly can’t have rapidly lost his ability.
 
First half was shaky but he improved greatly in the second half. Jury is still out, I didn't have him in our best round one.

I'm off him - he's the ultimate supercoach player. Stats look good on paper but if you watch him it's easy to see we've been sold a lemon.

Runs himself around in circles before duffing a 35 metre helicopter to a man under pressure, or handballs into traffic. Then is simply unable to fit into a defensive system because he's slow, short and more often than not is out of position because he's tried to be attacking.

He played a good second half against Melbourne, who are pathetic. His impact was oversold after round one when his disposal was shaky and his man kicked goals, then yesterday he played like a crab.

Yep his kicking dropped off a lot of the last 2 years,

He is also a defensive liability

Why don't you post in the North board thread on this? most of us who watch the team closely are seeing what he is.

and is Oscar Allen worth more or less than Liam Baker? lol
Well based on what some eagles supporters are saying he is cooked and so far performing terribly
if that doesnt improve then i doubt clubs will be paying him $1 mil plus for 6-7 years

If he does improve and play well then he certainly is and why would the eagles not want to keep their captain
Personally i wouldnt want my team to be paying him a million dollars a year
 
33 at 82% DE isn’t horrendous. What does it matter where I post this? Bizarre.

Did you actually watch? A scrubby kick to a contest or a panic handball into traffic that results in a teammate being beset and tackled for a stoppage counts as effective on paper but absolutely costs the team. And then you account for his poor defensive coverage. He's lost whatever he had that made him effective at the dogs (which might be a simple case of teammates that can work with his limitations).

You seem to camp on this board desperate to claim we win every deal we are part of. It is just a little weird your assertions often don't match reality of what those who view the games see.

Well I checked out our board and it’s not all doom and gloom. The sky isn’t falling chicken little.

Not sure how involved at AFL level you have been that your view should be regarded as the truth.
 
Has landed himself in a terrible situation for where is career is at. North are unable to cover his weaknesses so his **** ups are even more glaring.

He’ll be out of the team before they come good enough to really use him.
