An important part of our Premiership story.

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

Surely we won’t waste the mid 20’s ANB compensation pick on him? You’ll get a seriously good player with pick 25 in this years draft

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.

Fingers still burnt after the Shack Attack.

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;

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
