Is Caleb Daniel an elite user of the ball who sets up our attacks and generates more scoring opportunities than most other half backs?
Or do the Western Bulldogs perform better without him? And more to the point, is it because he's not playing that they perform better?
If he does play as a defender is it beneficial to have him take a large proportion of the kick-ins?

This topic has generated plenty of discussion in the Rd 22 post-game thread and it shows no sign of diminishing. Also there has been some angst about the whether that thread was the right place for an extended discussion of Daniel (who didn't play in that game).
So it's better if it has its own thread. I couldn't find any recent threads that were topical so I've started a new one.

[Mods, I don't know if it's an easy job or not but it would help if all those Caleb posts from that thread could be transferred or perhaps just copied here. They started from about this one as far as I can see:

It was in response to a post that listed a bunch of best 22 players who were out injured.]
