Traded Caleb Daniel - Traded to North Melb for pick 25

[TruRoo]

Just a slow Aaron Hall.

 

[Wild Bill]

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.

A few defenders at the dogs also struggle to and defend. And a couple with some really ordinary kicks.

 

[HumanMeatball]

You don’t trade for slow under sized half backs who don’t defend. convinced he isn’t even better than Zac fisher

Well I guess the Caleb Daniel trade must be a success for North then?

Who also can't kick far*

He is 4 games in. You’re quick to put the spotlight on an opposition player but that might be to deflect from the issues you have coming out of defence. Can’t pin it on Daniel’s any more.

Nothing you said relates to what I mentioned about Daniel and his current situation. You are just looking for petty point scoring.

 

[Foxman98]

Much better watching him exposed for size and speed not in our backline

Fantastic in his prime but games changed and can’t be his size slow and no depth on kick

 

[Bald]

Maybe Bevo isn’t crazy.

Not even much better than Zac fisher

Not better. Small, slow and can't defend.

Pick 25 for him looking like an absolute heist.

If they didn’t pick Jacques then you might be correct. Won’t be on their list in 2 years.

You’ve got no idea who that guy is or how good he is. Trying to troll like this is almost as embarrassing as us thinking Caleb Daniel is a good fit for us.

Pick ~40 with all the bullshit now. We have all the picks in the world, doesn't account for anything.

Like your mob and Salary Cap. Who cares how much you have free? Nobody is going to choose StKilda unless they're getting $500k extra a year.

Rubbish - massive reach on draft night. 50 was closer to his draft range.

Go to bed champ. This isn’t the deflection you were looking for.

Maybe do some research bud.

Like North did when they gave up pick 25 for CD?

He is the least of our problems. In the best again yesterday.

 

[T2B_]

I don't understand playing him in defense, especially these days. He seems like he has none of the traits for it. Be better trying him forward if anywhere?

agree, hasn't got off to a great start at the roos.
but they got many more problems than him, like there entire defence

 

[Wild Bill]

Maybe Bevo isn’t crazy.

You’re sitting 14th with Smith and Macrea killing it at other teams. Maybe jump into those threads and test your theory above. You went backwards in the pre season - yet as soon as we lose doggie supporters get excited about this trade. Truly bizarre.

The opposition midfield walking out of the centre - we could have Rance and Scarlett down back and we are still getting smashed. 64-39 inside 50 is really bad.

Looking at the ladder part way through the 5th round (for most teams) is peak North fan. There's 1 win separating 6th and 14th.

It's Macrae* - he is a fantastic player, but he's not better than Marcus Bontempelli, Adam Treloar, Tom Liberatore or Ed Richards, are you suggesting we don't do Macrae a favour and let him play senior football elsewhere? Smart list management is freeing up the salary and getting a player who more appropriately fills the role we wanted Macrae to play, all the while saving 1.2m in salary over the contract duration.

And yes, it's not a huge surprise that a team with very deep midfield depth has their midfielders play well at other clubs. I'm unsure why you are actually mentioning Smith though - we wanted to keep him lol? I suppose if we offered him an undeserved 1.3m per season he may have stayed, but only silly clubs make list management choices like that.

He is the least of our problems. In the best again yesterday.

The fact that he is in your best is a large part of all of your problems - I like Caleb but he was rubbish.
