I know it's a bit late but I just watched replay of 360 from the other night on IQ, and can't believe how much Gerard and Slobbo were banging on about Callum Mills and how good he's been yadda yadda, he will win the Rising Star yadda yadda..are they for real?
It's criminal how overrated some of these high draft picks are. Petrraca was the Messiah before he even played a single game, Oliver was a superstar after 1 game, Parish the same thing..etc etc.
Yet not a mention of Caleb Daniel, who statistically has em
all beat, and convincingly as well.
What about after the Hawks game where Bevo sent him to shut down Sam Mitchell, which he did, as well as racking up 29 touches, 8 marks, 1 goal and 6 tackles. If that was a top 10 draft pick they would have spent an hour on 360 dissecting that performance followed by demanding the AFL build a statue outside the MCG for him.
I'm not sure if I've missed something but I've heard pretty much every player being pumped up by the media for the Rising Star except Caleb Daniel. Haven't heard a single commentator mention him. Even in Slobbo and Gerard's list of top 5 choices to win the Rising Star last week Caleb wasn't in
neither of their top 5. Seriously? What else does this kid have to do.
