NO NO NO 

HES SMALL AND SLOW 

has lost his pace 

he can kick the footy but only over short distances 

definitely NO NO NO 

don’t take another salary dump player for farrrrk sake !!! 

What are you trying to say Normie...

 

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 

 

Fingers still burnt after the Shack Attack.

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.


Good lord will this year from hell never end?

Bloke can’t even get a gig at the Dogs FFS

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.

nah, triggers too much when you get to Cale-M ....orton.

CD wants to stay at the bulldogs and see out his 2 year contract

(read: no interest elsewhere)

On 08/09/2024 at 11:43, whatwhat say what said:

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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
