Player Watch #5: Caleb Daniel

[scottywiper]

The reality is two more goals from two games and we're pushing to get out of the eight now for the first time this decade.

We're what? Did I miss something?

No that's a mistake. I meant bottom six. Not quite as exciting.

I'll go edit it.

 

[DuckYeah]

Drop him. Put powell on half back. Get powell out of that bloody midfield or he can be dropped too

 

[TruRoo]

Aren't all of those stats the worst in the league, or close to it?

But they are trending up

 

[speedy]

Blaming others for Daniel's failings is just bullshit. He can't move, kick or defend. And he makes the game harder for others.

He has two more years after his to chew up, what 1.2 million?

Awesome.

I don’t know.

If we can just surround him with premiership calibre players who can amplify his very limited offensive capabilities and then cover for his total lack of defensive capabilities, we might have a player on our hands.

 

[speedy]

I’ve got a solution!
Strap him to Logue’s back.

Daniel must have a secret stash of pictures of Viney or Clarko with a goat or Pygmy wearing a pink tutu, or both. Slotted in at Centre Half Hack again. Sigh.

 

[Skarrz]

We are not a serious football club

 

[tazaa]

Not good enough

 

[koshari]

We are not a serious football club

Either that or we are tanking for richmond.

 

[JGreezy]

We have some people making decisions who are putting their ego above the club. They don't want to admit that he isn't working out.

Just bumping my post from a month ago;

Not saying this is 'right or wrong', but just based on what I've heard from people who would know; we aren't going to drop Caleb Daniel unless he absolutely shits the bed.

So make peace with that now.

The sheets must have a protective shit proofing layer then

 

[zoomba23]

Less than two years ago he came fourth in their B&F behind Bont, Libba and Ed Richards.

**** off with your likes, Pencil case. You and your board were laughing all the way to the bank when you saw that trade go through

[Lomas]

The dude is unflushable.

It’s system that has Daniel padding his stats and running this a-away and that a-way. Nothing to do with the player.

And I know this by watching the game with my own eyes on the TV. I only get to watch a handful of games a year in person but I can see everything at the game. Even what is not shown on TV. Even when I’m not there.

There's a hell of a lot of posters who say he has done absolutely nothing this year. I can bump each and every thread to highlight posters saying he has done “absolutely nothing”. Even though most posters are critical of what Daniel is “actually doing”. I maintain they are critical of him doing “absolutely nothing”.

You see you are a medieval thinker when it comes to football. You can't get beyond seeing the game in terms of individuals instead of systems. You see players performances and short comings don’t matter. You have to blame the system. When Simpkin misses target after target its system. When I’m critical of that White Honky in Zurhaar for not chasing its system. When Daniel pads his stats and turns the ball over with dinky kicks its system. You need to think like me. With the influence of Hallucinogens.

And we have been able to increase scores from kick outs by 690% with Daniel taking the kick outs. It’s goal after goal when Daniel runs out of the goal square, changes directions on average 6.9 times, then kicks 10 metres to the teammate in the back pocket. And it results in goals. Yah just can’t buy that class.

Who is wearing the tutu? And if it’s the goat, please send Greta Goato home. We miss her.

Well said Mr Greezeball. :stern look

 

[Only Forwards]

it’s all about stability. We know exactly what we’re going to get.

• more kick outs than he should have.
• feigning one way on those kick outs then going the other way short and into the pocket.
• handing the ball off to a kid to make it their problem because he can’t make a decision
• calling for the ball at around 12m from the kicker
• kicking the ball about 12m to a kid

stability.

It sure makes me want to stab something.
