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?

 

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

Get the Jack Macrae thread going 

 

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


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

 

I'd much prefer getting more games into Bowey.

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.

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?

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.

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


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

An important part of our Premiership story.

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. 

 

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.

Reminds me of the Billings and Hunter trades, washed up and past their best. Can’t say I’m excited about this or the current direction of the club and overall recruitment strategy at the moment. Bring on the external review, accountability and transparency at all levels of the club.

  • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
