Recommitted Caleb Daniel [re-signed]

[Taylor]

Smallest player in the league but a very clever footballer.

Elite by foot, big ball winner, playing a bit more hbf due to dogs strong mid depth

Looks suited to this role to be honest. Having a good season.

i like him taking the kick outs but prefer him midfield hitting forwards lace out

 

[Isaac Cumming No 1]

One of very few Bulldogs players I'd want.brilliant vision and clean sure disposal. Not as a key back though.

I'd welcome more than a few at the Lions- Bailey Smith, Aaron Naughton, Ed Richards, Toby McLean, Marcus Bontempelli, Jackson Macrae, Lachie Hunter.

One of the few decent players for them today

Bontempelli gets a game anywhere but we're just not hunting million dollar mids right now.

I do rate Hunter somewhat.

Generally I think the Bulldogs players are overrated. They have quite a few players that look great when things are going well, but dont work hard enough when momentum is against them. I think you'd have to be cautious about importing that.

I laughed today with Daniel being caught one out against Mackay a few times. It just might be he's the only defender committed enough to turn up in the contest though. No-one would be silky eniugh to seek that matchup surely.

Good thing nobody asked, ay?

When I want your opinion on in how to post, I'll ask.

Please do hold your breath.

A little short today young Isaac? Not like you.

Isaac rubbishing the Dogs? Who’d a thunk it?

Wouldn’t take anyone on that list? What a crock. Sam Reid gets a game for GWS

Sam Reid has heart and runs hard in defence. That's two important pluses over most of your list.

You see what you want to see.

Just like everyone else sees you simply can’t have a rational opinion on anything Bulldogs because you are so clouded by hate.

It's entirely rational. The evidence is in the results.

 

[Alphonse_]

Can't see The Dogs letting him go. If he does leave, you would have to start thinking that Bevo may have lost the players, but Caleb strikes me as the loyal type, who'll be a Bulldog for life.

 

[Heaps of fun]

s**t fight started on post #5. Pretty impressive.

Who are GWS’ two way midfield runners and who decided not to when Jack Macrae was able to go forward and kick the winning goal in the 2016 prelim?

That has nothing to do with Caleb Daniel.

Keep on topic or go away.

It’s simply nonsensical to suggest he’s played as a key back to try and talk Daniel down.

In modern footy with players in transition someone win good disposal is back as the sweeper. So if a team is looking to switch we get it back to that player.

The catch is if there is a turnover that player is often exposed. And Daniel’s size means it looks worse. In the past Suckling has been that player too, and he’s had goals kicked on him. It doesn’t have the optics of a 167cm player trying to spoil, but it is the same result.

You take the good with the bad with Daniel in that regard. It’s the peril of playing him in defence. His good disposal v his physical limitations.

It’s poor form to bag a team based on that, and shows a very limited understanding of the game. Unless a certain poster is trying to bait a supporter group into a shitfight.

Daniel has had a good year to date and I would hate to see him go. Don’t think he’s likely to leave

Leaving Daniel one out against tails is a plan to lose. It just cant happen.

We bank on not turning it over. If you think we are deliberately leaving him one out then you just don’t understand.

Our failings up the ground are responsible for him being caught out in that situation

Ok

You will win very few games this year then. If you can't attack or defend you have no chance.

Congratulations. But this isn’t what the thread is about. I’ve educated you enough now.
