We were heavily into last season Daniher dont let the media fool you think about it we offered them a future first the club would of known another bottom 4 finish could of been a possibility.
In terms of currency the Daniher trade would of been more expensive than Kelly, Judd and Dangerfield thats how much we valued him.
Or perhaps how desperate we are to stay revelant the Sydney market, remember GWS made the GF last season.
A lot can change in 12 months. This year we never heard anything about the swans actively pursuing him, so I suggest that after our initial infatuation we may have had another look in the cold, hard light of day and realised that, for whatever reason, he wasn't worth the gamble.
It could have been anything that turned us off him, his health, his attitude, his price, we may never know. All we know is that we didn't seem to want to sell the farm to get him this time around.

Just for the record if fit Joe will be a steal for the Lions at a lot more than the numbers being bandied about.

Ironically I think that Grand Final hurt GWS's brand more than helped it

From an Essendon perspective, this has played out exactly the way every single person in football believed it would play out, except for one. In any other profession, these mistakes would just about end a career. Make no mistake, this is not bad luck, the Daniher debacle is more aligned to Essendon's handling of it than anything else. Dodoro has let his ego get in the way of creating a deal that would right now have Essendon laughing all the way to the draft. The offer rejected last year should play heavily in deciding what compensation pick they get. I suspect Brisbane is not offering the $ we would have been offering to the player.
I cannot believe the ineptitude of that football club. God help Ben Rutten, I can see a 2 year coaching career tops as the Bombers make him a scapegoat going forward.

I think Leon Cameron might be doing some damage to it as well

Still think" if" we knew Buddy would be playing every game in 2021 it would be worth recruiting Daniher but we can not afforded the 2 of them being out for long periods with injuries.Woops sorry Luke Parker I have used that word "if"

I think we would have had a better chance of getting Daniher then Cameron but as I said to bigger risk having Buddy and Daniher at the club with their current injury history.
Have you actually won the lottery?
How about a salary cap breach?... would you pay the fine
How do you have a great group of developing young guns, with a strategy to avoid 'go home' (thankfully less so now -no one sane is going back to SA)
and keep room for their EXPECTED justified salary increases later?
For some w***er that Rampe beat to death with his one crook hand!
