Player Watch #5: Caleb Daniel

[TruRoo]

Harmes was ordinary too.

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

Not even a month ago Harmes kicked four goals and was BOG over a top 8 side in GWS.

Don’t get sucked into Nostra’s knee jerk reactions. You’ll probably find a dogs player every week we can say played a bad game, but stack them up against Caleb and you could see why they’ve been picked over him.

In this case:

Cleary - clumsy spud but at least he’s a defender. They have Dale, johannisen and others as distributors off half back.

Harmes - plays in a different part of the ground and can be backed more often to win physical contests

I just can't get over what we paid for him. He was obviously on the out at the Dogs. They seen how desperate we were and really made us earn it. We should have walked away, a third round pick was about right. A second was daylight robbery.

Agree. No huge issues with getting Daniel. We had to be willing to walk away though.

I think you’ll find I was in the most vocal to not do the trade unless it was for a third rounder, was just pointing out that he might still get games at the dogs albeit fringe

reflecting back now we were trying to give our future first for houston at the time i thought that was overs and was glad he didnt choose us

but now i wish he chose us as we lost that first rounder anyway could have had houston and then likely chosen whitlock at pick 25 instead we have daniel, whitlock and a second rounder

I'd add MacNeil in. He's not very good.

 

[Blightys Barrel]

I'd add MacNeil in. He's not very good.

He was good at hitting the post last night

BORING!!!!!

Move on

He’s shit.

But they wouldn’t play Caleb as a forward pocket over him.

 

[Lomas]

BORING!!!!!

Move on

It’s as tiresome as the future 2nd for whoever was.

 

[Arathrawn]

He is shocking. Kicks it 15 just to put players under pressure. Gets torched on outside run, pushed off in any tackle attempt, not even worth mentioning defending in a marking contest.

 

[SWMD]

Whats changed from sheezel AA form to now?

 

[r_boy]

Terrible

 

[NMFC TID]

Absolute imposter. Pre season specialist

 

[Arathrawn]

Is it as tiresome as watching your team be utter trash for 5 years. Then trade away what we need for our future for an absolute liability.

 

[TruRoo]

Whats changed from sheezel AA form to now?

Sheezel has never been in AA form. He’s been a promising youngster and a beacon in our shitness but he’s never made AA

 

[Samsquanch]

Possibly as poor a footballer as I can recall playing for North. He is used a lot so he gets a fair number of possessions but looks out of his depth almost all of the game.

 

[Dinkers]

Too small for this game . Absolutely should be given the arse.
Never to play again . There is no point to it.

It’s the constant repetition like no one else knows. We know. We have heard it a million times, adds absolutely nothing 7 months later.

 

[kangatragic]

Disgraceful decision to sub Maley off who was having a red hot dip and leaving on Daniel who's a absolute liability

 

[koshari]

Crab. Poach someone from the big M little league to replace him.

[Fart Cummings]

looks like an auskicker out there! not sure ill ever get over how bad he is!

 

[Gumble Frankieton]

Too small for this game . Absolutely should be given the arse.
Never to play again . There is no point to it.

Too slow, loves a 13 metre kick to a teammate who is instantly put under pressure, calls for the handball when he has an opponent up his clacker, has a bizarrely wide turning circle for a short bloke, is poor defensively...
