Player Watch #6: Caleb Windsor

[Topkent]

Darcy is a big chance to run Reid close. Love a key position player winning it. Would also cause all of WA to melt.

Get rekt Demon Attack

 

[knackers29]

Caleb right now?

 

[TheBoss]

Happy that my lay bet on Reid is getting up.

 

[Demon 16]

Windsor into $8 now.

Still behind Wardlaw, McKercher, Wilson and Dempsey - but the market is close.

 

[SugarHealey]

I'd just like to note that i think Windsor has reignited his form these past couple of weeks against the Eagles and the Bummers. He's been very influential again.

 

[PerfectFooty]

Just need Mitch0 to barrel him in the gameday thread one quarter in and he'll play well from there

 

[Bluelegs]

His running goals are a lot of fun to watch

Yep, not only is he quick but he is confident enough to take guys on. Still think he fills in that big frame too and could be a starter in the middle long term.

 

[Crusty Demon]

A goal kicking mid too! Loves a goal

 

[Deelighted]

His running goals are a lot of fun to watch

He started 5-10m behind Cox when the ball went into Melksham and burned him off easily, serious wheels and seems well balanced

His, Caleb's kicking to position is nice to watch.
And he uses his speed well.

He's also started to contest bigger opponents, in the air.

Caleb, one thing... work on your smothering efforts, over the break. And kicking both feet.

Supermercado described it very well in his review, he said it looked like when you hit the turbo button in NBA Jam.

He looked dead a few weeks ago. Power meter must have refilled.

 

[SugarHealey]

So Caleb has done his syndesmosis.. a mild one. But.

Time to reset him for 2025.

Cotton wool time for this season. get him right, get him into the gym.
And let Choco start an early skills pre-season for him, through the 2024 finals.

 

[Demon Attack]

I didn't believe in the half back move but he showed what he can do today with a couple of sick runs through the middle. Wish he got it a bit more but don't think he will ever be a high disposal guy, but will always be high impact. Good stuff Leb.

 

[Daemon]

This guy could be anything, he's so good. Unfortunately I don't think Goody is using him right at all.

Hes a star, need to get him the ball in space. Him coming off the back of the square at the centre bounce for that goal was good. Still don't like him as a stay at home defender which he was used as for 90% of the game.

Literally our only player who was willing to take the game on from the back half.

Problem is he didn't really take it on from the back half, he came from the back half and impacted in the midfield. It's not like he was getting the ball 20 from goal and breaking lines.

 

[I Love Lamb]

Still think we ****ed this pick up. While Goodie is messing him up in defence trying to play him like he is Adam Saad or Wanganeen-Milera, we should have taken Curtin or O’Sullivan to bring in some quality talls.

I have absolute no idea what type of role we expect Windsor to play. Bailey Smith like wingman? Because I doubt he will get to that level with his limited disposals he picks up.

At best he gets to Xavier Duursma level I feel.

Relax mich the pick is fine if we actually play him on ball. Last year he really had some quality games playing in the middle, his work through traffic is elite.

The concern is more Goody ruins him if he hangs around. Could totally see it.

Fortunately Goody won’t be hanging around.

Never bet against the stupidity of the Melbourne Football Club, they should have sacked him 2 years ago but they decided to extend him instead. It isnt over til it's over.
