. The way they play, their size and weight but most of all their appearance.
If you take a look at their lower torsos ,their bulky thighs ,they are almost identical. Caleb has definitely been our replacement for Lachie and is tracking along beautifully.
He may yet win a Brownlow Medal.
Our other replacements may match as similar players in Johnson for Mundy and Erasmus for Fyfe.

Hope he signs early...

 

[Sumwun]

Hope you're right, but the umps just don't like him for some reason. I thought he had a very good year but only got 5 votes. In the AFLCA votes he pulled votes 8 times, was BOG twice and second BOG twice.

 

[greatgatsby]

I suspect some of this is due to Brayshaw's emergence. In future they will probably share votes, a la Petracca and Oliver.

Caleb’s the Captain.

Even if he isn’t the captain, Caleb’s the Captain.

Definitely acts more like the captain
I think a co captaincy situation isn’t a terrible idea
Brayshaw more the head down follow my lead type
Serong the motivator and organiser

Brayshaw will kill you with kindness. . . . . Serong will slit your throat on your birthday while eating your cake.

The odd couple

 

[Kram]

Probably my favourite player, the heart and soul of the club type.

 

[FreoRicci]

Sign him before the season. Please. No smart arse techniques Bell and co. This isn't Logue or Acres.

Serong loves the smell of napalm in the morning.. Charlie's point

Agreed. Big chunky contract for him pls.

I'm pretty sure Serong will be valued accurately and compensated accordingly.

The techniques with Logue and Acres were so we could throw a big fat contract at Serong I'm sure.

 

[im_a_lazy_sod]

Caleb will pretty much be given a blank cheque

 

[Deathly]

Is he captain yet?

 

[Dockeroo]

I'm pretty sure Serong will be valued accurately and compensated accordingly.

The question is will Bell and co be grappling with paying him overs?
If hawthorn or the like have a 5 year contract on the table worth $5m plus, does Belly hold firm and say, no we are only paying you $750k or does he give in and pay up?

Pay him what's he's worth. He's playing for premierships, not a quick buck. The kid wants to be remembered and immortalised as an inaugural Freo Premiership player.

The best teams have a combination of salary cap management and third party agreements which allow them to retain A graders without sacrificing depth.

My hunch is we can improve our third party agreements in line with other premiership contenders, but I also suspect we currently lag in that regard. Players like Brayshaw, Serong and half a dozen others are very sponsorable and media friendly. Jackson and Darcy are going to be an absolutely magnificent combination across the AFL and could be prime ambassadors for the right sponsors.

Keeping a lid on the salaries is important.

 

[King Huskii]

Don't worry about the rest
Serong is the best.!

My goal over the coming weeks is to use what you've said about Caleb as often as I can and about as many different people as I can credibly link it too.

I thank you. My meetings at work have become far more interesting as a result.

Third party arrangements only seem flexible if you’re a big Vic club.

Or if you can plaster your players over a bunch of fast food joints...

You've never wondered if Hungry Jacks stump up more than free burgers for the birds?
