Caleb Daniel in 2017

Re: Caleb Daniel in 2017

He can play anywhere for mine. Smarts and skills are already elite, so anywhere other than KPP or ruck. He can kick goals, run through lines, hit up targets really well and even shut down red hot guns like he did on Sam Mitchell early 2016. He's flexible, dynamic, smart, highly skilled and has regularly performed in clutch moments like his goal in the prelim. So all over the ground in short.

He's a clever player with tidy skills but he can't play in the backline. Too easily exploited in the air. In he middle - yes, forward - yes, back - no

Re: Caleb Daniel in 2017

What sets him apart is his use of the ball when he gets it. Its lethal and the hurt factor of Daniel getting the ball 15 times is huge. For mine its on ball or half forward. Agree he needs to work on the burst.

Daniel and Dahl both have great disposal efficiency.

While I agree with this assessment the defensive pressure he applies in the forward line is pretty good. He'd probably find a way to not get exploited in the backline but it's midfield and forward where he will do his best work.

He'd find a way to play in defence but I don't know why we are talking about it. The kid will be an offensive weapon after a couple wore preseasons, he will be kicking and setting up goals from everywhere.

Just purchased one of the to be 12 yo daughters' birthday presents, it has a gold logo and a number 39 on it.

He needs to be delivering into the forward line, he is one of most assured kicks into the 50 arc.

Re: Caleb Daniel in 2017

He'd get belted in a positional defencive role, there's barely a single top grade gun forward let alone AFL genuine forward who with decent delivery wouldn't cream him in the air moving at, away or laterally.

He'll get more time in the midfield as he matures, right now his role suits him really well.

I hope you didn't buy that in honour of Caleb Daniel?

Don't you know who Caleb Daniel is? He won the Norm Smith medal last year, is quick, comes from South Africa. Caleb Daniel. I thought you'd know our players a little more Rick.
