Welcome to the Bulldogs Caleb Poulter

[weltschmerz]

Odd looking unit
Left footer
Needs to put on 8kg

Pretty much a standard bulldogs pick

Don't forget the extraordinary mullet

 

[dergert]

Surely Bevo won't bring him in this week?

Will.....

He........??

Gets popcorn

 

[Norm De Guerre]

I remember seeing him for the first time during the single training session at Skinners that I attended over the summer. So I guess that makes me this boards resident expert on Poulter.

I had no idea who he was. However, he stood out and not for the ridiculousness of his mullet (get a haircut hippy!) but because of his ranginess, relentless running up and down the wings and his kicking of the ball. Im not sure that this has translated to the VFL just yet, but Footscray is currently a black hole of form that no-one can escape from right now. So I dont expect to glean much from there.

Projecting forward, he's a free hit in an age and playing position that we currently have a deficit. So nothing ventured nothing gained.

Good luck to him. Like all long shots who make it onto the list.

I genuinely hope that he can grasp this opportunity, run with it and boot it through for a career making goal.

Poults definitely looks like a bulldog. Will fit in well.

Geez he looks like a dark headed version of Smithy.

 

[pz5151]

Happy to see him getting another shot at it. Looked like he had some potential when at the Pies.

 

[Pleasedontfail11]

Positives:
can find the ball
Grest endurance
Good hands in close
Good height
Smart positioning and running patterns

Negatives
Very one sided
Sky high kicks
Not very accurate by foot (some disagree)
Doesnt use his height well both overhead or in contests (could improve with size added)
Appears one paced (although some disagree)

Good luck to him, with the right attitude he could be a solid player.

 

[BulldogMuscle]

I think his 2nd year he was worst than his first year, which is why he was dumped.

Forsen forsen forsen I'm your number one fan!

Also, welcome Caleb to the Dogs, saw this coming a mile off.

 

[Fossie 32]

He'll either be umber 25, which is the only one we have free from 1-44, or he can stick with the 54 from VFL, which is a good number.

Do NOT change numbers!!

 

[Doggies7]

I wanted him in the off-season when he was floating around as a desisted free agent, happy to get him now as a free hit. Still very young and hopefully some untapped potential there. Our wing depth is very poor, so at worst this could be decent depth if Oskar or Bailey Williams were to go down. Hope he can make that position his own over the next few seasons.

We have depth on the wing Lobb!

 

[ManOfClay]

Can’t believe we picked Ian Poulter’s boy

 

[geoffjennings79]

So tall enough for Bevo to play him as a KPD, eh?

Excellent.

Not tall enough for the wing like Lobb

 

[chestbrah]

I really rated his potential at the pies. Showed great running power and even snagged a couple of goals. Some queried his kicking but he played in Bucks last year and the whole team/structure/process was insipid across the board. I feel he is a neat kick and makes smart decisions with the ball.

As others have mentioned he presented as a laconic type bloke and some queried his hunger for the top level (maybe unfairly).

Love it for him that he’s put in some hard yards and has a grabbed a second chance.

 

[Chicago1]

Looks kinda Tom Alvinish. Hope he has as much talent.

Cant believe he slid to our pick

 

[Mofra]

Looks kinda Tom Alvinish.

As a kid, he was Satan and Hitler wrapped up in a single player to me

 

[Dazb86]

Good luck to the kid. Has looked ok whenever I've watched VFL. Certainly better than some of our listed players.
