Player Watch #5: Caleb Daniel

[DuckYeah]

Small, Slow, misses tackles, disposal ability left behind at Whitten Oval

Why ???

come again?


Do you watch his game? Or just shout nonsense?

 

[King Hansen]

Personally i think there should be ZERO tolerance of posters negatively referring to how tall Calab is.

Most posters that do are probably literally just 4cm taller than him..

21 pressure acts also. He’s not the all round tackling machine, elite ball using, speccy taking, hard ball winning all australian. He’s a good ball user and is doing a solid role.

 

[DuckYeah]

And there is no question the defensive leadership is at least palpable now. Before CD, our defensive structure were non existent. He gets a tick from me.

We don't have any of those players you just mentioned.

No shit. So you need to hold fire because we dont have the cattle and you arent getting anyone that fits that description for pick 25.

Unless you are a team like geelong who can land players without giving up much more than a packet of chips and force other clubs to pay their wages

 

[LB2Snake]

He’s very clean with the ball most times. He cannot and will not defend. Can’t run. Can’t wait till we don’t require him in the side. Shits me.

2027
BP Archer ( still not sold 100%)
FB Comben ( ways to go)
BP ??
HB Goater
CHB Whitlock
HB Hardeman

Oh I get it and I suppose my point is always the same. We have so many play well but we can't win .

Find me a running BP and I'll shut up!

 

[rickety]

Could have sworn he got hit high right at the end there in the last contest before the siren went

Yeah could see after the match had ended his helmut off and was dusty af. Walked behind X still groggy in the next bit of vision, iirc

I think a few on the list might just Suprise you sooner than later.

Who?

Was a little tongue in cheek. 2020 I thought 2025 here we come, now I've adjusted that to 2027 here we come.

 

[pupstar]

Who?

Harry will be AA at some stage of he's career along with your man of the moment George LDU is still a good possibility regardless of what some people think Larky already has been no reason he cant again FOS in the future . X only a matter of time.

We are talking about backmen

Ccj?

 

[pupstar]

The post i commented on from Drinkers does not specify Backman just cause we are in the Calab thread doesn't mean we are specifically talking about backman

 

[pupstar]

Ccj?

How did i forget him. Sorry.

 

[ferball]

Ccj?

After the VFL game yesterday I reckon CCJ has a pulse.

 

[nelroo]

Improving ever so slowly .. Christ he is liability though with his complete lack of pace and inability to defend. I would love to know the match committees honest view on his value so far.

 

[DuckYeah]

 

[King Hansen]

Has to be the one that makes way for Archer in a few weeks

LOL the guy got coaches votes literally 2 games ago and you want him dropped...Jesus

 

[Chadwiko]

That was a kick I'd say less than 6~ players on our list could confidently make.

 

[speedy]

Ranking every teams best designated ball accumulating defender for skill, creativity and line breaking.

1. Sinclair
2. Whitfield
3. Dale
4. Martin
5. Rozee
6. J Daicos
7. Clark
8. Zorko

14. Saad
15. Roberts

16. Daniel
17. Maric
18. Short

I can’t see how anyone can objectively rate Daniel higher than I have. Plus, he is the biggest defensive liability from that list by the length of the Flemington straight.

If you don’t think his position needs a significant upgrade, you don’t football.





… and he cost us a top 3 draft pick
