Player Watch #5: Caleb Daniel

[Passmore]

We brought him in to take it in from hb, hopefully we abandon that after 3 games. That’d be good.

 

[The Nostradamus]

He cost us 25 and that deal also led to us having to cough up our first rounder this year.
If he don't come good this will be up there with the CCJ debacle.

That’s the key thing too

The domino effect, in isolation it was already an average deal but then the flow on makes it even worse

Could’ve had Whitlock and kept our first rounder this year

Instead of Whitlock and Daniel

Sorry mate. Caleb can Football. Just watch that preseason video of him at training. Pick 25 = Bargain.

 

[King Hansen]

Didn't hear anyone complaining after last weekend. Reactionary much??

So no one complained last week. How abouts at the time the trade was made? Plenty were not a fan of the trade brother. :stern look

If Daniel didn't play last week, Bergman would have. And I'm sure those same people wouldn't have liked that.

 

[Psicosis]

Last two weeks the opposition have given him attention. Vandemeer last, Peatling today for periods. He doesn’t handle it well.

Last week after a rocky start he lifted and was influential in our W.

We brought him in to be a sure hand in the back half. I can cop the occasional turn over on an aggressive kick that slices the game off if it pays off. What I cannot cop is what happened today. We did not pay (trade and salary) for that many unforced turnovers / squibs. It’s unacceptable and a couple more days like today and he will be dragged through coals in the media.

 

[Devington]

I'll cop some of the bad kicks when he takes a mark and sees no movement. But when the play is free flowing he has to do better, simple as.

What’s that gots to do with Daniel? :stern look

Quiet? I made the odd post here ye and beyond. You know what I mean? stares blankly

 

[perplexed]

Yeah, he isn't very good. But we knew his limitations when we recruited him. In his defense, we have given him a role, but haven't given him much support to help him do it well. A lot of this today was Adelaide. They defended the ground incredibly well. I don't think we pulled off a successful switch all day. For him to be effective, he needs the other defenders to run past him for the handball and the mids to spread and provide options. Other than Jy, did anyone else do this regularly?

 

[Colby2Sheez]

I fear we've been stitched up again at the trade table.

He needs to be much better than today.

 

[amaz199]

I'm not going to go after him until players start working their arse off to provide options.

We're not getting anywhere making this guy force himself to kick down the line. Literally no point in playing him back there. Bad habits.

Ahh yes, the ‘odd post’ after a win yet a flurry of posts after a loss. We know what gets you up-n-about :winky look

Roll on Roo brother

 

[Zondor]

Would we have been better leaving McKercher in the Daniel role and never recruiting Daniel? :stern look

Just for you Sherm the next time we win I will shit stir All in Sunbury just for your amusement. :stern look

[Daniltchenko You Beauty]

He’s getting a ton of opposition attention because they know we don’t have anyone else back there generating much offensively. Wouldn’t be against Colby or even an out of form Harry going back for a bit, then dump Tucker and play another mid or forward.

 

[The Butcher]

If he gets a tonne of it and we do no goood, its the same as a roast chicien n gravy joint thats struggled even after nailing down all their inputs, they cant shine if their chips no good. North seniors makes footy hard, same as it ever was. OLD news. Our coaches havent found ways or taught their ways enough to make the game easy on our players such that its hard f0r opppo to negate our purpose. The long kick under pressure stinks of shitness. Tommy torperdo = right hoof right time

Chicken salt could be the remedy.

 

[shintemaster]

Adelaide squeezed the middle of the ground really well and - especially compared to last week - we were much more stagnant. Not a good combination and gave the backs little to work with. We have to get better at working through the middle of the ground, can't just rely on blitzing clearances every game.

 

[TruRoo]

I'm off him.

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.

 

[Psicosis]

He will be excellent when we are good and on top. Issue is when we aren't good.

The last two games are the perfect illustration of that.
