Free Agent # 6: Joe Daniher (part 1)

[Shane Heard]

Now I can fulfil my dream of seeing Myers to full forward.

 

[Mercurial89]

Do you think he'll be back in 5? I don't.

He will be back Anzac Day or match after.

 

[Jesse Custer]

At least it's not OP

Hey its Essendon so you never know. He may have had his head blown off for all we know.

 

[Runk]

He will be back Anzac Day or match after.

May 18.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

FFS this has been a crap pre season.

FFS this has been a crap pre season.

Not really, most of the starting 22 are available bar Hooker & Daniher. StKilda have had much worse preseason

StKilda have had a much worse existence.

$10 it's his OP.

Runk, your not suggesting that the club would LIE about injuries and injury management?

 

[Arctic fox]

Brown...CHF
Schmack....FF
What's the problem?

They've never done it before........

Can we stock up with supp list with Hooker and now Daniher out?

 

[JayJ20]

See you next year Daniher!

Bring in one of the top ups like Mitch Brown

Has to be LTI eligible

Clearly we're at disaster stations because we didn't win any games with those two playing! We only won 5 of 6 games when those two played together. Season's a write off.

 

[TheGrizz]

I know it probably doesnt help too much in the short term - but i would much rather this then say 6 weeks because he has groin soreness or his OP came back.

A 24yo will generally recover well from what seems like their first calf injury

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Tbh before this happened I was a little concerned that club said they would manage his minutes in GWS game. If not sure of his fitness then surely VFL first?

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

Firstly I will say its bad luck for Joe, but he is young and will recover.

I was not sold on where he was at during JLT. Looked better in the ruck than up forward IMO. I am not as disappointed about this as I probably should be but I feel we might get off to a better start to the year by having a forward line that was functioning well at the end of last year, over a forward line that has Joe trying to regain that AA form of 2 years ago, and maybe not quite right.

I am probably dreading the start we had last year and do not want us to be in a similar spot 5 or so games in.

I am normally pessimistic in nature but for some reason, my gut feeling , I am glass half full. Bizarre.

I'm staggered how blase some people are over this loss.

Yeah me too, I mean it's not like it's something trivial. I'm off to find a bridge.....

We smashed it in the back end of 2018 without Daniher in the team. Of course, a fit Daniher is good for us, but we coped without him and should do so again.

Wouldn't go that far but we're ultimately a poorer side without Joe.

Go read some of the facebook comments, It's mental.

We didn't cope without him we lost 3 games to Hawks, Pies and Tigers because we were missing fire power. He and Fantasia are so important to us.
