Player Watch #5: Caleb Daniel

[TennisPlayerAndy]

He was still handy today. Persist.

He needs to be far more than ‘handy’ after being traded for a pick in the 20’s.

 

[Kciza]

It's been a disaster. The worst thing they can do is double down and continue to play him simply to justify the decision they made. If he's not dropped at some point this year, either he performs a miracle and turns it around, or the coach has lost his backbone

 

[Dingster]

Reminds me of the old LMac that called for the ball with no idea what he'll do when he gets it.

What do you expect for a pick in the 20s?

A high quality distributor.

 

[Blightys Barrel]

He was still handy today. Persist.

We did not recruit him to just be handy. LMac and Jy look better by foot at times. That is saying how far his form and talent has regressed since the 2 practice matches where he went alright. Perhaps Shorty needs a Sports Shrink to get him out of this hole? He surely cannot be happy with his output this season.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Was better/more reliable today. Only had the one howler where he kicked it off the inside of his boot.

I really like it when he rolls up with the high half forwards and sits at the back of the stoppages. He got a few e today forward of centre which is where he polish can be best utilised and his deficiencies (one on one defending) can be somewhat ignored.

 

[Arathrawn]

Like it or not. And I don't like it. He can't and won't be dropped.

We sold him a role at the club. We paid for him in both draft capital and a player contract. We went out of our way to get him.

We dump him now, not even half way through his first year, how will we ever convince another player to come to us?

The contact with the player agents will be very short.

 

[dus]

He’s shit.

Should have just taken Whitlock with pick 25 and kept out future first.

Horrendous trading.

 

[tazaa]

I thought when he got it forward of centre he was okay, especially in the last quarter.

But overall - without Harry down there as well it was another sub par game.

 

[hilly]

First half was ordinary - made LMac look like Darren Jarman. Didn't notice him as much afterwards which can only be a good thing.

 

[KiwiRoo]

Thought he went ok.
No chance of him being dropped

 

[shinboner magic]

I’ve nicknamed him cannon - as in we need a cannon to send him back to the dogs

 

[Whippet1]

Thought he was good(on the rewatch)

 

[pooley]

I think that Caleb Daniels sees the field like a Harlem Globetrotter and persists with the footy equivalent of the no-look pass. Unfortunately, he is surrounded by Washington Generals. Happy to keep persevering with him.

Will just need a small cannon. One of those water pressure ones you can get at KMart for $29.95

 

[Uncle_Leo]

Last two weeks have been what I expected going into the season.

Much better.

Makes us better too.

 

[Jonnoo]

I’m not as down on him as most are. He does hit a lot of his kicks although when he misses it really stands out.

He’s been ****ing horrendous.

Even at the ground yesterday. a few of his kicks were absolute shockers that were luckily mopped up by team mates.

Side of the boot shit floater helicopters under no pressure.

Someone said earlier in the year it’s like he’s had a leg transplant.

Spot on.

CCJ vibes of a recruit at this point

Would be good to see a breakdown with how many defensive half disposals they have had. Not that I think it would help Caleb much.

 

[Arathrawn]

Watching the Dogs tonight, zero chance he was getting a game for them.

Reckon he plays over Cleary

Young spud v old spud

Harmes was ordinary too.

My point was more they had moved on from him and we paid up big time.
