I liked his game - does it reflect we really miss a high-pressure small in the front half of the ground who uses the ball well?
Obviously Caleb's debut was remarkable (14 touches and a goal in his first half of football!) but perhaps it's a sign for the MC that at least one of Hrovat, Honeychurch or Caleb should start every game from now on?

With Tom Boyd in the goal square.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Re: Welcome to the WBFC - Caleb Daniel
Must admit I was quite surprised at how short he actually is when he ran out with the team at the start. Can't begin to imagine the shit he's copped throughout his footy career so far.
When the opposition lined up on him you could almost sense they didn't know how to approach him in terms of physicality. Normally they try to intimidate the new young bloke but with Caleb I felt they kind of held back as it would look pretty weak if they started knocking him around. If he keeps playing like he did, opposition players won't have any second thoughts in future.
I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

Re: Welcome to the WBFC - Caleb Daniel
Good summary AR. Next week will be interesting to see how he backs up and how much attention Gold Coast pay him physically and actually manning him up.
More of an In Bruges guy?

For once you and I are on the same page!
If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

They won't be able to man him up. He'll just hide behind Sam Day or Dan Gorringe at every stoppage.

Humans don't naturally look up or down. They look straight ahead. Well, that's what I tell my kids when I step on them, anyway.

An excellent debut and a master stroke in recruitment. Provided the necessary spark to lift our performance in the second half to victory.Looked totally at home at senior level.

Tony Libba was 4 cm shorter.
Early in his career the team were playing West Coast and Worsfold was barking instructions and asking players to pick up there men. He saw Libba and said and someone stomp on that cockroach.

And every bruise will be a badge of honour. They wouldn't bother if he didn't make them look silly.
