Caleb Daniel

[Travy14 1,891]

Dropped this week after starting sub and being subbed.

He is a very good footballer and silky skills, Goody spoke about how in 2021 he killed us in every game we played them.

Would be a very good player to get.

If he requests a trade then the Dogs have 0 bargaining power, and they haven't been playing him so they can say he is a gun.

Thoughts?

[Roost it far 8,039]

Yes and No

[adonski 11,328]

Don't think you can play him and Bowey in the same side 

Get the Jack Macrae thread going 

[Return to Glory 8,408]

Stunned that he can't get a game with the Doggies. Very smart player. Great reader of the play.

[Cranky Franky 1,909]

No no no no & no. Old, slow & not as accurate as he used to be.

[ElDiablo14 4,990]

No, too small we already have too many small players who are as good if not better with the football.

[Sir Why You Little 36,806]

He can’t kick 

[BLWNBA 886]

No thanks. 

[spirit of norm smith 15,847]

No. No. No. His form and pace has deserted him. 

[whatwhat say what 22,470]

No to both Daniel and Macrae 

[Demon Jack 6,832]

I'd much prefer getting more games into Bowey.

[layzie 33,619]

I honestly think Daniel needs to be tried as a forward. Got the weighted kick to be like a Grian Myers.

He's lost in the back half now.

[Ted Lasso 19,067]

Jake Bowey is already a better version of exactly the same player.

Jay Clark just said that he thinks we will go after Caleb Daniel after missing out on Houston for ball use off half back.

Thoughts?

15th here we come!

[adonski 11,328]

Don't mind it to be honest. Been bevo'd, still has a bit to offer.

We’re starting to get desperate if that’s the case.

[Bates Mate 4,458]

Is he an upgrade or downgrade on bowey ?? No way we could have both in the team

[Demonland 70,953]

An important part of our Premiership story.

[ANG13 2,051]

Hard to be excited by much at the moment. He could be ok but probably won’t help enough. 

[adonski 11,328]

We should be going for cheap options like Daniel who can fill a role rather than expensive options like Houston anyway...especially given the current situation of potentially struggling to field a Melbourne Demons 5 a-side basketball team in 2025

We're going to retire half their team via two year contracts by the time we're through.

Caleb Daniel good game is 300 metres gained. Houston averages 450-480m. We have enough smallish players with dinky kicks. 

[BW511 2,613]

I quite liked Daniel as a player, however it’s a mighty fall from grace if we’ve gone from a two time AA (probably) to Caleb Daniel as our new HBF recruit.

[FreedFromDesire 869]

I don't particularly love it , but I understand it. Would be a cheap trade in, and would help go towards the combined problems of - Lack of midfield depth (Rivers & McVee options to go in the middle), Salem struggling more and more with injury, and general ball use (which is a massive issue in my opinion). He's 'young' enough that he could potentially get back to his best with us. It's not exciting, but it's one step up on trades like Hunter and Billings I think.
