Here is a little bit of a reminder as to why Joe Daniher to the Swans is very real.

"Anthony was also the brother-in-law of Morwood, making him the perfect person to lead the charge in trying to recruit the highly-touted youngster.
“We had a fair dinkum go (at getting Joe Daniher to Sydney),” Morwood told SEN’s This is Your Sporting Life thanks to Tobin Brothers – celebrating lives.
“I took him to Sydney every month for a year.
“I had him staying at (Adam) Goodes’ place, (Paul) Roos’ place, out for dinner, all of those things.
“The Daniher name and synergies with Essendon are quite strong, but Anthony and his wife have strong friendships with the Swans through me and other people.
“It wasn’t an easy decision for Joe and I can understand how that happened.
“With due diligence Kinnear Beatson and Paul Roos and myself, we would do everything we could to make sure we ticked every box that if Joe made the decision to go to Essendon, we had done everything possible to make sure he made the right call.
“We made him an attractive offer and there was a lot of benefits.”
“I think none of us ever thought he would come to the Swans, they’d appointed James Hird, and so before they’d appointed Hird I thought we were a slim chance, but the day the messiah was appointed the next day he dropped around to see Joe and I thought we’re no hope,” Morwood said.
I hope this makes all feel a little more confident that either this trade period or next, Joe will be a Swan.
