Player Watch #5: Caleb Daniel

[Blightys Barrel]

Bring Duursma in for him - he could do no worse. That handball was right in front of me. The act of a defeated man who has lost all confidence in his skills to be effective on a footy field.

It’s like Ian Baker Finch shooting a 92 in the 1st round of the British Open only a few years after winning it.

 

[Reagan Smash]

That handball in the last minute sums him up.

Ask for the ball. Runs himself into trouble . Turnover.

 

[Uncle_Leo]

Yes Caleb was to blame for today.

Incredible

 

[rickety]

He's just turned 29, I'd thunk he was younger .... he probably used to be. He's done at AFL level.

Should not be taking kick outs. If we're going to insist on using him then he should be the 3rd link from a kick out. Kick to a tall who takes a mark. Then bandpass to Daniel to keep the chain going. Its rediculous every time at kick outs he steps out looks around does it again, takes a bounce then kicks it 40. Rinse and repeat every week. We know hes going to be in the side so at least change it up

We have CM and RH with good journeys, and wheels for that matter. CD should be nowhere near it, imo.

The brave dogs ****ed us so hard

They hardly forced us to trade for this crab

Thought he played a decent game today.

Usually yeh but today I thought he distributed it a lot better. No major complaints that I normally have.

Of course he wasn’t, but from what we’ve seen of him this year, him playing off half back isn’t part of the solution.

He was done at AFL level last year, hence being in the VFL.

I laughed yesterday when log kicked a dinky 10m kick to Daniels. Its obviously contagious. Down back.

Then pressure, dump kick turnover and oppo goal.

 

[Passmore]

Crab

 

[speedy]

Only watched bits of the game but it still seems we have the same consensus about Caleb.

The pro-Caleb’s still say he played ok, he isn’t the problem.

The anti-Caleb’s (the ones in the know) still realise he’s not the ****ing solution. Overpaid in both contract and trade, humongous defensive liability, shouldn’t be kicking in, has next to no effect in transitioning the ball and is a downright cancer on the team.

This guy wasn’t a speculative draft pick. He was head hunted to fill a specific and important role, he’s already 29 and he’s not even close to being the answer.

People lament our poor MSD recruiting. This is 1000 times worse, they should have known.

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

Teams running him onto his left foot. No longer has the pace to find his right.

[koshari]

You have to wonder what it would actually take to drop this crab.

Absolutely offers nothing.

Not at all saying he is the sole issue re our form but surely you have to start somewhere??

 

[Dinkers]

Oh stop it , I cannot be the only one who starts laughing when he waddles out of the goal square with the ball. Every team sets up to give him 20 metres, so he can cook his own goose.

He’s been Norfed massively

He was Norffed before he left the Dogs. He is a genuine shitman. Great recruit Ckarko and Rawlings, but keep playing him.

Oh they will, otherwise it's embarrassing to show you got it wrong . Top ten B&F for sure

Times like this i wish for ccj to be my whipping boy again.

 

[koshari]

Daniels in the center now.....

Taking the piss is surely our carte blanch..

 

[TruRoo]

Have not noticed him much tonight
