    Re: Welcome to the WBFC - Caleb Daniel

    Some interesting player comparisons. He reminds me a bit of Sam Mitchell in that the game seems to slow down when he has the ball. Exceptionally composed player with quick hands and, more importantly, a footy brain that often seems a split second ahead of the others. Older players who had this trait, who he also reminds me of a little, include Scott West and Greg Williams.

        A 19 year old who plays like a seasoned player. Amazing.

          Not really. Bontempelli did it first, or was it Liberatore? Geez we are spoilt.

            He's a star; what a great pick up. So glad he's ours.

              I love this little champ.
              Whenever I see Caleb with ball in hand my heart rate drops to a placid level knowing that he will execute with precision.

                It makes me happy that so many others love him.

                I feel reassured when he has the ball.

                  Here's a photo I took of the great man 3 years ago. Anyone who has played with or against him in the SANFL raves about the little champ.



                  IMHO he won the game for us v Port on Saturday with his efforts in the last quarter.

                          I'm sick of the height discussion brought out every time by commentators. It's very clear it doesn't matter.

                            It's easier to remember something like 'smallest bloke in the AFL' than research and offer insight into his amazing stats this year and how important he has been in crucial moments of tight games this year. Don't we expect all AFL commentators to be ignorant bogans throwing around glib tid bits of info pretending to be adding something to the viewing experience?

                              Which Plough Wallace has just said today. I hope Caleb keeps its going.

                                It will pass in years to come and then , like Harvey they will just comment on how much of a champion he is.
