Player Watch #5: Caleb Daniel

[Blightys Barrel]

I think the decision making on the Daniel trade is stored in the Penske File

 

[zoomba23]

In 2020 he traded a F4 for Kyle Hartigan.

Again meh...

I mean this is just the most mediocre sentence that's ever been written

Fair call. Scully and Patton were fresh in mind as fails. The rest bar Vickery are decent.

I honestly have no idea who Harrison Pepper is.

I wouldn't give him credit for Jiath, he would've been a recruiting call imo.

Harrison pepper is son of willie pepper. Willie was a pretty decent local country footballer played with churchill years ago. Had a stint in carlton u19s. Harrison had his dads skills but struggled with his weight a bit like Willie did.

Honestly, he was fine in the Pies game. Fantasy to suggest he won't be in the Round 1 team.

..so you'd say too much pepper?

You're probably right, but I just know I'd rather see Blamires and Hansen. We need to be getting games into the younger guys that are going to be part of the future, as well as taller guys who can defend an aerial ball.

My anger is already building knowing he will be named.

 

[Kanga1996]

It feels like because we signed him for four years and possibly promised game time, we’re stuck playing him regardless of form or decision making. At some point we just need to bite the bullet and make the call.

 

[chubbspeterson]

Contracted until end of 2028!!!!!! WTF

Trade to Tassie is the only positive from that lol.

 

[chubbspeterson]

I get that he's a premiership player and knows what it takes in terms of commitment and training. Two things we've been severely lacking but it finally getting better thanks to the inclusion of him, JD and Parker.

But can't he still provide that mentorship without being part of game day?

For sure. Whether Caleb, Luke and JD are happy playing some VFL footy would be the question.

Agree. Didn't do much wrong. But we need to turn the page asap when others get back.

 

[chubbspeterson]

I want Brady gone too, but this trade is on Clarko.

Maybe getting Caleb, but not sure Clarko wanted to give up pick 25.
That's on Brady, Todd and the unknown recruiter who was pushing very hard for it at the time.
Thursfield looked like he didn't want to pay that price for sure. Wish we could find the vision, probably gone by now.

Yep, and I think that’s the cost

 

[shinboner magic]

just imagine we never did this trade

having both whitlocks developing on our list

Fisher offers more than Daniel as at least he has pace

Very doubtful we trade our f1 if we kept pick 25

 

[tinket]

My anger is already building knowing he will be named.

He'll play, nothing surer. We've just got to find the spot that matches his talents. I like the idea where he is the last kick into the forward line (half forward/mid), but no doubt he'll be half back flank, which is annoying. Exposes his weaknesses.

Where did he mainly play with the dogs? I seem to remember he was centre/wing.

There certainly would have been less urgency to trade the F1 if we kept 25.
We may still have done it to get both the Whitlocks though. I wish we'd let that scenario play out FFS.

 

[HTPunter]

Why would we go after Budarick when we already had Budarick at home?
