Player Watch #5: Caleb Daniel - Welcome to North Melbourne - NM trade R2(25) for CD

[Topparoo]

When I watched the kangas get spanked repeatedly by the bulldogs over the last 8 or so seasons Daniel has been a crucial player in their side. Every single time I saw him play I wished that we had him in our team. I don't understand the negativity towards him by some on here. My son in law is a rusted on bulldog and he is gutted that they've lost him.

 

[Dan]

Welcome aboard Caleb.

You're not the first misused dog to come to our club.

You'll get your opportunity to show your worth.

the positive is we get a all australian premiership player and vice captain

the negative is we over paid

at worst had to be a future second

CD is a gun. Misused this year as a sub. Clean hands, great in traffic and uses the ball really well. 25 is a steal when you see what he brings next year.

You're not a used car salesman by any chance are you?

 

[DaveyBoy123]

Unsure why they didn't ask him why the deal wasn't done earlier if both clubs were on the same page.

I wonder if he was at the same Japanese baseball game that our lads were at.

 

[Shagga is all Class]

Look, it was only 3 years ago the bloke got 37 possessions and 631 m gained in a grand final.

If McKercher, Scott and Stephens run on the wings, Caleb might even have someone to kick to.

This is why we need names on jumpers.

BnF winner, AA and experienced, welcome king.

He'll be top 5 in our BnF in 2025

 

[joegreen]

Gotta give him credit, he agreed to be traded to a club that his team smashed by 96 points...

In that way he reminds me of Waite. That's about where the similarities end.

His agent Marty Pask is happy one of his clients is getting a contract.

 

[El Capuano]

Not mad about it, we need polish

 

[zoomba23]

Shouldn't have caved, but the fact that it frees McKercher is worth a lot in itself

 

[giantroo]

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Can see what he brings to the table, but damn I wish we didn’t part with 25.

You’d want to hope his leadership next year results in a considerable up tick in wins.

[Rod Stroker]

I've liked him for years, but 25 is way overs IMHO for a bloke that the Dogs didn't really value so much any more and didn't give a lot of senior game minutes to this year.

Schnoz got played.

We need a little class and composure in the back half. Reckon Caleb can give that.

 

[blackshadow]

Welcome little helmet!

I’m looking forward to seeing you carve the opposition up the way you carved us up for years.

 

[Flawed Genius]

Oh for sure man

 

[LeFtBehinD]

Pick 25 is a lot, but we identified him as filling a desperate list need, so super stoked to see what 2025 brings!

And love what this does for Sheezel/McKercher too.

 

[Grogg]

Banking on the collective of Parker Daniel & Darling converting those close losses into wins and a winning mentality kicks the young guns in to experiencing some highs rather than inevitable lows.
