He's only 27 and is durable..

And 8 years younger than All-Australian half-back Dayne Zorko.

PREMIERSHIP BULLDOG'S CALL​

WESTERN Bulldogs premiership player Caleb Daniel is not expected to seek a move to North Melbourne unless the Dogs open the door for him to depart late in the Continental Tyres AFL Trade Period.

What does this even mean unless the Dogs open the door for him to depart

He can't reach the handle

Could apply this logic to every single player who has requested a trade whilst contracted.

Who writes this stuff lol!

 

[SweatOnMySkin]

The impression I get from all of the Caleb stuff is he's only planning on going with the blessing of the club basically. If a deal can be worked out where we happily let him go he'll go. If not he's not going to make waves and just stay put

That’s one man that certainly wants to remain here.

Maybe we can’t find a suitable deal for Macrae with the Saints and we end up moving on Caleb instead if North are offering up a significantly better deal?

I know that won’t happen but something to think about. It’s always been one or the other for me.

The subtext is norf making us an offer we can’t refuse.

Tell that to saints supporters who think they'll bend us over no matter what

 

[SweatOnMySkin]

I'd love to know what North's actual offer would be. They have 25 and 44. 25 seems unlikely

 

[Dog 36]

But says that Caleb is not expected to seek a move

Weird

 

[Mojorisin]

So when the Cats traded an uncontracted 26yo Tim Kelly in 2019 for picks 14, 24, 33 and a future first it was completely justified...but Dogs want more than just pick 17 for Bailey Smith and they are being difficult???

Or 25 and 2 more late pick for Ratugolea.

 

[Munnez]

I agree surely that’s not the offer

Seriously couldn't put that offer forward with a straight face. Not even a Big Footy nuffie would put forward that as an offer

 

[Bulldogs85]

 

[Mantis Toboggan]

So Daniel may well stay at the Dogs unless circumstances come about which result in him leaving.

What a scoop!

 

[Doggy Dan]

The lesson from all this angst about Smith is, sign your players before their final year or trade them prior. We have a nasty habit of being far too comfortable letting players into the final 12 months of their deals. The game has changed and we're one of the clubs who hasnt changed with it yet

1000% we no way we should have let Marra, English and Smith all enter this year without a commitment. It’s terrible list management and puts us under huge pressure. Managers must love dealing with us.

 

[Norm De Guerre]

But says that Caleb is not expected to seek a move

Weird

I suspect that being the good clubman he is that he’s open to moving on if it’s to our advantage. But is content to stay if it isn’t.

This seems to be all it's about. He's not going to publicly ask for a trade if he thinks it wont get done and probably wants to leave the club on good terms if he's to do it.

I wont begrudge Caleb moving on at all, and the fact he's still so committed to the club makes it all the more sad that he's drifted away from being at one point in time one of our most important players

 

[glenashley]

Morris saying Stringer to GWS likely. Could he leapfrog Hunter and collapse two of our rivals’ cultures in succession?

Stringer and Hogan ... 2025 premiership forward line.....

Stranger things ...

 

[Here we go dogs]

As part of the negotiations with st kilda for Macrae, I’d request them to make some noise about taking Bailey smith

is an interesting one. I think he can and will get back to his best footy.

However, him getting back to his aa best doesn’t necessarily mean we will be a better side or his deficiencies won’t get exposed in a big final. Really on the fence with this one.

I do think this a deal where we are in a good spot. North will be pretty desperate to get this over the line to prize a very good player while draft picks for another kid won’t mean much to them.

might request a trade to North. But if not, he'll remain a Bulldog."

This incisive analysis has been brought to you by AFL media.

 

[Bont the Lord]

Seems like the inbred South Australian Mackie is only offering massive unders for Smith. Enjoy the draft champ!

I always thought Mackie had the most punchable head in the AFL.
Nothing of late wants me to change my opinion.

 

[BLACAE]

With all the BS this trade period is going to bring... it really raises my opinion of Daniel and Macrae. I've always liked them as Bulldog players, obviously, but their loyalty and stoic attitude are amazing. Whatever happens, I hope they have success. Just not at the expense of us. If only we could bottle it and put it in Smith's coffee so he wouldn't be such a knob jockey.
