    Agree. I saw him play in last years Under 18's Championship. Was BOG in the game I saw. Was always where the ball was.

      I watched Jack Redpath's highlights video from the VFL last week and was more impressed by Caleb's contributions in those clips than Jack's. I do love Jack's kicking though
      If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

        The best one was where he tackled the big Sandy bloke (Goddard), forced the turn over and hand balled off to big Red.

        Plenty of strength packed into 167cm.
        Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

          I literally stood with my mouth agog as I watched that on TV. I made my kids come and watch it on replay.

          Goddard is huge and Daniel is tiny.
          They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

                  Love this quote from Caleb:

                  "It’s something I’ve dreamed about all my life, I’m keen to get out there.” Caleb Daniel ahead of his debut

                    And that's why I have always loved Wheels.

                      How is it possible that Wheels looks younger than when he was coaching us 20 years ago? I used to see him on the Williamstown train in the mornings and thought he must have that Benjamin Button disease!

                        I wonder is Peter Gordon was there for pep talk?

                        Do he and wheels get on at all?

                          I assume you are being genuine. I think I heard that Peter Gordon regrets sacking Terry Wheeler the way he did. He admits that he was a young man himself back then and probably jumped the gun a bit too quickly.

                          I am sure they have buried the hatchet.
                          More of an In Bruges guy?

                            Old Wheels can still rattle off a stirring speech.

                              Yeah, absolutely genuine. I watched Gordo say that the other night on Fox, but whether they have a relationship, tolerance or mate ship is another thing. I'd hope they've moved on.
