Opinion Joe Daniher - Will he be remembered more as a Bomber or a Lion?

[GC2015]

108 games & 191 goals for Essendon. Played 2 finals for the Bombers. 2017 AA & BnF winner with the Bombers.
94 games & 202 goals for Brisbane (so far). Has played 9 finals for the Lions. Played in the 2023 GF with the Lions.

Daniher is 30 years old and is contracted to the Lions for the 2025 season. There's no real sign (right now) that he will stop beyond that. So you'd think there's a good chance he will add at least another 14 games to his tally to eclipse the amount he played for Essendon.

Will Daniher be remembered more as a Bomber or a Lion when it's all said and done?

 

[katana]

clearly a lion, how is this even a question...

 

[Jazny]

He was a bomber?

 

[Underarm]

Obviously played better at the Lions in the prime of his career, but the Daniher connection to bomberland looms over his entire career.

 

[blackdiamond]

Who are the bombers?

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Lions.
Although ill always remember the bombers knocking back 2 first rounders and celebrating it as a win, only to get 1 first rounder a year later and also celebrate it as a win

 

[Cmarsh]

Would have thought Daniher would still be handy in Essendon's forward line.

Joe the Lion made of iron

club/track 2 heroes

his dad happened to be the last surviving South Melbourne player and missed out on a flag

 

[Scritchyscroony]

Joe has won a final or two now so he's clearly not a Bomber.
As a neutral I love watching the Joe show. Most entertaining player in the comp.

 

[_Mike_]

Lions, easily

 

[Jatz]

Might be recency bias but Lions for me.

 

[Lingsface]

 

[Hawks1523]

Lions. At this point I forget he even played for Essendon

 

[The King!]

Had finals moments and better footy at the Lions with presumably a reasonable amount to come .

If his surname wasn't Daniher there would be 0 debate.

 

[CharacterFirst]

Will he be remembered?

 

[Wosh]

Lion

 

[Handsuper47]

probably a Lion because he's playing at a club that isn't clueless

 

[SSSSSS]

Is there a more inconsistent player than Joe.

He has 5 minute bursts where he looks like an all timer and 5 minute bursts where he looks like an unco giraffe.

I can only think of Westhoff being so similar.

 

[Dirty Bird]

WTF?

Does anyone even remember him as a Bomber?

 

[BF Tiger]

He’d be wanting to be remembered as a Lion.

 

[Foxx]

Every player you didn't draft to your club from day 1 is never purely your player.

He's an Essendon player that crossed.
(In more ways than one with this bloke).

 

[paulige]

Won 2022 Elimination final with his brilliance. Most goals kicked in the 2023 finals series. Won 2024 Semi final with clutch goal-kicking.

I'll remember him for winning finals. Aka, not as a Bomber.

 

[JayJ20]

He'll be remembered as a Brisbane player IMO. I barely remember his Essendon days but that may be for different reasons.

 

[HirdsTheWord]

Lion.

 

[joy division]

Who are the bombers?

That club that has 16 premierships to your 1
