    I have stated before that Caleb Daniels had the best highlights package of any U18 player I have seen and he has shown he can have an impact with his clever kicking at the heart of his skillset.

    But he is now 28 and lost some of his zip and there is now way he can play like a Nick Watson and nor does he have his passion for tackling. 

    Essentially he is another pick up like Jack Billings, someone who has great skills and smarts but no longer has the intensity required for the current game.

    If Tim Lamb thinks he is worthy, then we know he's not. Enough said.

    I truly hope there is no way we recruit this bloke 

    Please take our picks to the draft we must be able to get better value there - a big refresh is needed

    If it's out of Caleb Daniel or Jake Bowey version round 1 2022 to present, you'd be choosing Caleb Daniel. I'm sorry but Bowey hasn't come along as we all hoped he would.

    If we do get Daniel, hopefully he's not our #1 signing from another club, but given Billings was our 'marquee' recruit last year, Caleb probably would be.

    Sure hope we don't have a 'marquee' signing, means we'd be pissing too many picks away

    Happy to take a punt on cheap options

    No to Daniel for me. 

    Jake could yet improve, Caleb almost certainly will not. 

    Personally I wouldn't mind if they tried Jake as a forward, either close to goal or high HF/3rd winger like they tried with Billings.

    Every so often I glance at BigFooty to try get a more "impartial" view of the world.

    Saw this commented on the CD thread by a bulldogs fan and had a little chuckle;


    "Our annual shuffling of deck chairs between our sinking ships."

    At the same time, it pushed Jordon out of the wing spot, which probably contributed to him leaving.

    He was already pushed out of the wing spot by Brayshaw. But even when Jordan played the wing he was in/out of the side.

    if anyone thinks that these kinds of decisions come down to Tim Lamb and Tim Lamb alone ...

    For starters there is a List Management committee which includes Taylor and presumably Richardson, but decisions on bringing in players would involve coaches as well.

    Seriously? He was cheap depth, traded for a future 3rd-rounder.

    JJ played 22 games in 2022 mostly on the wing, got injured in round 23 and actually missed finals to Harmes on the wing. Gus was already moved in different roles in 2022 - half back and midfield.

    JJ finished 12th in the best and fairest after a strong start.

    Hunter didn't crack the top 10 in the B+F in 2023.

    JJ was relegated to Casey, the sub and various other roles.

    Bad list management and bad coaching too, because Hunter never had to earn his spot. Plenty of times in 2023 when JJ should've been backed in to get his spot back and keep it.

    Yeah agreed.

    I meant ''marquee'' (in the loosest sense) because he was the only recruit that actually contributed to the MFC this year.

    Speaks to our non draft recruiting of late when Billings was considered out best import of last year.

    Cheap depth over the past 3 years has only brought us list cloggers, and actually destroyed our depth.

    We need to stop this nonsense. Either recruit players who we rate as top 20 on our list or go to the draft with our picks.

    Sorry, but I can only take one Caleb at a time.

    How about if we call Windsor Cale-A and Daniel Cale-B?

    Agree. 

    We'd recruited half a dozen blokes in their prime on big money/long terms deals before the flag, then had marquee premiership players to contract long term after. 

    We just haven't didn't have the cap space 2022/23 to bring in big names on big money. We were forced to moneyball it. 

    FWIW I actually thought Hunter was pretty good in 22 and not terrible for the first half of 23.

    caleb daniel is reportedly on a heavily back-ended deal, $700-750k a year for the next two seasons

    his best position is as a running small defender who, well, doesn't defend that well cos he's so small

    i struggle to see how we can play bowey and daniel in the same side unless one of them changes roles

    Unless we play one of them on the HFF in ANB;s role and clean up F50 entry.

    Chol was unwanted by two clubs, kicked out twice by Dimma

    Dimma disliked him obviously and it’s no reflection on Chol. Earnt  his place at Hawks.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
