Confirmed Caleb Daniel - Traded to North Melb for pick 25

[SweatOnMySkin]

I think there's a chance for the right deal we'd absorb some cap which may open up options. Would be sad to see him go and I think in the right side he could be a massive bargain. Way too good to be wasting away in the vfl

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Surely he goes to the Demons? Seems as common sense as a deal could possibly get

No,no,no. I thought that an SA club would pick him up.

 

[Chip Scab1]

No,no,no. I thought that an SA club would pick him up.

He's perfect for you.
I can't wait for him to nominate Melbourne.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

No,no,no. I thought that an SA club would pick him up.

I doubt the Crows will be interested.

 

[MarcMaverick]

I doubt the Crows will be interested.

I really don't want him at the Dees, I'd rather younger players

Go on just say it. Taller

 

[MarcMaverick]

Go on just say it. Taller

Height isn't am issue here. He's just not same player as he was a few years ago.

Is being Bevoed a terminal condition?

Any good examples to the contrary?

Ed Richards was great off half back in his first year or two, got thrown forward and wasn’t very good, moved back to half back and was great again, then to the midfield and is excelling.

Bailey Dale was delist territory as a half forward now an AA HBF, Rory Lobb pretty handy CHB now

The Lobb move to the backline was out of necessity, there were no other talls fit to play.

No it wasn't Busslinger could've played as well as throwing Naughton down back who had actually previously excelled

Lobb was already in the side and had played well enough to hold his spot. If Naughton was gonna play back it would have already happened.

Lobb was in the side because Darcy was suspended he was playing 2s for most of the start of the year

goes to the dees then that's a blight on Jake Bowey who is younger, quicker and has just as good foot skills. (nowhere near as creative as Daniel though). We can't play both.

You can use Daniel as a in & under mid. Played there last year to small success. Or try him as a small forward. He has some versatility.

 

[Makeshift Park]

Guess this one's been overshadowed by the clamouring for Houston.

Ralph reported yesterday that he's considering North's offer.

There's also the question of compo for WB...

The Kangaroos could land Darling and Parker with late third and fourth-round picks, but would have to part with a top 25 pick to land the contracted Daniel.

Sorry mate but Boweys foot skills are s**t

 

[Chip Scab1]

Geelong received #7 for a salary dump, I'd be interested at Pick 8-12.

We are already short, not particularly quick and can't defend too well. Admire this kid but no need to overpay in picks for him and his contract but also the privilege of making space for doggies to lock in bigger (better) forwards.

It's not a salary dump though neither is Parker neither is Darling you're targeting contracted players with experience unless they're 32 you don't get them for nothing

 

[Golden_6]

Will need to part with 22 or F2 to get him.

There’s no need for us to salary dump with Macrae & Smith. In fact, we almost need to keep him for a bit of depth given he plays in a similar position to the the two leaving.

As a North man, I hope to God we don’t pay that type of draft capital but you’re bang on re: your second point.

Unless of course you have some serious contracts coming to fruition in the next year or so. Smith wouldn’t have been on HEAPS I wouldn’t have thought?

 

[Chip Scab1]

I'd just play Goater and Hardeman, we have invested there already. We need small and Tall forwards much more than we need an undersized defender who doesn't defend (despite being a good kick). We can play Sheezel or McKercher there too, not as if we don't have young talent around to chip scab 35+ under no pressure.

Yeah I think that's fair enough.

I was thinking about this trade this morning, and what I reckon happens from here depends on whether we get an additional second rounder by splitting either pick 2 or our F1.

In the NM member Q&A last night, it sounded like the club is looking to draft a small forward with the preexisting second rounder.
