I don't care how small he is. He clearly is very talented, I havnt got any stats or information on him other than this highlights package (which obviously are always flattering) but I would be ready to pick him up, hopefully someone does and he doesn't miss out because of his height.

Two first names? It's a no from me.

If he was 6'1' he'd go 1 or 2, wouldn't mind using our 4th rounder on him.

I watched a couple of games online that he played in. Got to say that I loved his endeavour and hard-at-it approach. Got some endurance and seemed to be good by hand and foot. If he doesn't get picked, I hope it's not because of his height.

I'd throw a second rounder at him.

I like the looks of him , although it can be a fine line between putting on enough bulk to not get pushed off the ball and keeping his speed.

unfortunately, as one poster (can't remember who) reported on the Roosy's pie night thread, Caleb isn't even on our radar. A shame, I will be watching his career with interest.

I have just watched this video and I've got to say his highlights are the best I've seen.

He has vision, is a deadly accurate kick and when he needs to roost it, he roosts it at least 50m which makes him the equal or better than almost every current Demon.

He has quick hands, tackles well and appears to have speed and he's a nice mark.

So why isn't he in the mix for No.1?

There's 168 centimetres of reason for that, but sometimes you have to give these kids a go - just look at Boomer Harvey.

If he was slow, I could understand why he would be ruled out, but he's not.

He'd be well worth a late pick and would be an instant cult hero if he played - and god help us we need one of those having missed the last freakshow boat that sailed called Nic Naitanui.

Roosy is against small guys because he wants midfield grunt. But Caleb is ideal for up forward and actually can read where to crum the ball and his vision under pressure would make him a rarity at our club.

He will end up at the Bulldogs.

Totally agree with all that Deespicable. Hope he slips through to the RD and we give him a chance, but I think he'll go late 2nd round or early 3rd.

When I glanced at your post, I thought your user name was leprechaun, which is very fitting for this thread...

If we do recruit him, I hope someone has a camera on Picket Fence's face when the name is called.

Can't wait for the nickname avalanche.

Seems like a legit player though.

Naasty Hobbitses... nasty sneaky hobbitses.

Ah, finally the fog cleared and I remembered the name I was looking for - Percy Beams!

It is interesting, but smaller guys tend to fall on draft day. I remember reading several reports about JKH being a top 25 prospect, and almost a lock to go early second round. He fell to us early 3rd round, and although he has some work to do on his game he provided some exciting moments and was certainly a good get at pick #40. That said, JKH is 175cm, Caleb Daniel is 167cm which is really small by AFL standards.

Haven't seen much of Caleb Daniel, however if his skills are as good as the video suggests he should find himself a home outside of the first 3-4 rounds.

Been a while since we have seen the Nathan Bourke style Helmet at AFL level. I wonder if Daniel can make that his trademark.

Agree,if he has 2 first names,we dont want him,NEXT

Can we return Toumpas for this guy?

The concern with Daniel as a small forward is whether he would put enough goals on the board in that role.

He’s been a reasonable possession winner for South Adelaide’s senior team, but I think he’s averaging under a goal a game. If his role is designated small forward, you’re taking a flier on him.

I think he has some excellent traits as a midfielder, but I’m sure the question Roosy would ask is, how is he going to win a clearance against Fremantle?

I’d be more than happy for the club to use a late pick to find out, because he has so many good features to his game.

Prestia, Taylor and Daniel all looked likely types in the Nationals.

I'd expect Daniel will go in the first few rounds - probably late 3rd round.

He is that good that I cannot see sides risking him to go into the rookie.

We could be looking at him, I wouldn't pay much attention to Roos saying he hasn't heard of him.

Daniel was a standout player in the champs, I'd be astounded if Roos hadn't heard of him.

One of Freos best players is a very small forward

And he's only 6 cms taller to boot...........................touché!

All I can say is Muggsy Bogues.

At his size he needs really high end pace, because he's stuffed if anyone is able to get close enough to make contact with him. I don't think he has that real express pace at AFL level.

Ran a 16.1 in the beep at the combine. Would love to see him get a chance somewhere.

I think Daniel will be a value pick up for whichever club drafts him. He's determined and loves a contest.
