Free Agent # 6: Joe Daniher (part 1)

[calyam]

Punters seem to agree. Into $12 now. Zac Merrett was $101 before his rising star. Into $41 now.

It's unlikely but I could easily see him exceeding his first half of the season and ending with 30+ goals and top 5 in contested marks. It probably wouldn't be enough - particularly given the bias towards midfielders in the RS - but it would put him around the mark.

 

[eth-dog]

I would be satisfied if they each got a few votes. It'll be:

Langdon
Dunstan
Kolodjashnij

the rest

That would certainly be how I'd currently vote.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Good thing is that we can all see he is a decent shot for goal on the run. We just need to teach him how to organise himself with a set shot. It will come in time.

Maybe get him the Schultz routine where he jogs by the end of it.

 

[daffo]

Langdon should have it in the bag but Joe has been playing number one forward for us the whole year and doing a decent job at it. It's a lot easier playing Langdon's role.

 

[Yoda_]

I repeat. Joe Daniher is a true Centre Half Forward

Now we just need Jeremy Cameron out of Full Forward and we are set

 

[yaco55]

dead set ordinary tonight. Talia is a top quality defender so Joe knows the level he must reach.

Until he builds strength in the legs he'll do most of his damage getting the ball on the lead setting up others, because he's got an exceptional footy brain.

I busted a nut when he just casually unloaded the 70 metre torp to Ambrose

He'll learn from it I'm sure.

 

[Shane Hird]

He is doing fine. Every game he plays gets closer to greatness.

That may be the case but take nothing away from Langdon, he has been outstanding.

One of JD's more average games to late but when you come up against a back in AA form what can you expect? His body still needs work before he can take on that kind of challenge. The learning curve is good and he still managed to put a major on the board.

 

[Kakkle]

1 Goal & 2 Goal Assists

 

[daz17]

I wish we could loan him to a team with a functioning forward line. It would help his development so much.

 

[Despair]

All Joe needs is:

Travis Cloke's strength
Jack Riewoldt's flopping/staging
Boomer Harvey's selfishness
Joe Selwood's affinity with umpires

and we have a 300 goal a year forward <3

 

[Yoda_]

Looks so much better with TBC in the side

 

[theboxmike]

I wish he would just grab those marks he could so easily have but it's pretty hard when the defender notices he has no chance and jumps on Joe to stop the mark.

Is it because he's so much taller than his opponent that the umpires let it flow? I cannot comprehend how many free kicks he should of received this year.

Add Lloyd's goalkicking to that list.

He should have at least 10 more goals to his tally purely based upon free kicks that weren't paid even though they were there.

well, 5 goals 5 behinds maybe

How frustrating is it when he does half the job, gets separation from his opponent only to spill the easy chest mark.

 

[Jade]

One day soon, the Derp is going to go bang - and many a pant will be soiled.

 

[Phone]

im not really sure the low chest mark is easy for a 200cm person

 

[Pweter]

We got a glimpse when he played against KPDs closer to his level of physical development when we played GWS. He was very good that game.

 

[hurlygurdy]

So... Will he be replaced by Carlisle this week?

 

[Jade]

Shouldn't be - has been looking pretty good. Didn't have a great game against Adelaide, but neither did Zaka.

Leave him in, let him play.
