Free Agent # 6: Joe Daniher (part 1)

[Red Black and Blue]

What do you think our goal was on Thursday?

According to Skipworth it was to take the JLT seriously as we can’t afford another slow start to the year. His words. That is some shithouse messaging with what we delivered.

Now obviously we werent going at 100% but there are some non negotiables that great players and teams do regardless of the importance of the occasion. Rance and Riewoldt still operated as competitive players during that Mickey Mouse competition because it is ingrained behaviour and that is the standard great teams play to. I’d much prefer our players take it too seriously than not care.

Needs to stop jumping early and just back his height and leap in the contest.

Also needs to stop playing for free kicks.

 

[HirdyLannister]

Trying to take mark of the century with every leap..

Just lead to space FFS

 

[Ambrosia]

He isn't a a deep forward. In his AA year only Buddy kicked more goals from outside fifty than him.

 

[Its Manbearpig]

Best played as CHF.
Haopy to see him get through unscathed anyway.

 

[eDPS]

Looked much better tonight and will continue to improve as he gets more run into the legs, will hopefully hit his straps by Anzac Day

 

[Beerfish]

Looks like a baby giraffe that's spent some time in the gym. It's just good to see him having a crack again.

 

[BrunoV]

At least tonight dispelled any concerns about the long term impact on his body.

Had his old spring back and was moving over the ground smoothly (without the limp or stutter he had last year).

At this rate we're going to need him at his best to do anything remotely serious.

This I can like.

[Shane Heard]

He’s been out of league footy for quite a time. He’ll come good. Needs some real games under his belt and get that confidence back.

 

[calyam]

He is certainly moving a lot better than he was last season. Didn't have a major impact in either game though.

I would take positives from that because I believe that if Daniher is moving well and fit then the results will eventually look after themselves. He is too talented to not make a regular impact if he is fit.

Good to have him back but......after taking a big grab maybe give a high five after you kick the goal ?.
It was at the time we were making a run at it and he misses from 25m directly in front.

Thanks Dwayne.

That high 5 was on Mcgrath... What was Joe meant to do? Leave him hanging??

 

[cobra land]

Thanks Dwayne.

You didn't think the same when he did it ??.... C'mon mate he needs to kick those goals, they should be his bread and butter !!

Yes !! kick the goal first then do what ever you like afterwards.. Those misses deflate players and supporters alike.

 

[Whispering_Jack]

I am not expecting too much output from him until after the bye so anything he does before the bye is a bonus. He is coming from a long way back when you think about it. I'm just happy to see him out there and his big goofy grin is back!

It's the JLT cup. Honestly wouldn't have bothered me if he did a Jason Akermanis handstand after taking the mark.

 

[Beerfish]

No I didn't. I thought it was recognition of the fact it was good to see him taking a grab again after missing most of last year with a debilitating injury. Obviously the deadshit commentators weren't the only ones this was lost on.

 

[DapperDon]

If he didn't high five he would have kicked 100 goals

 

[cobra land]

He could have dry humped McGrath for all I care after he kicked the goal !.. Look I know it was only a JLT game but he has form for laughing after misses etc I just think that it's poor look.

I'd thoroughly enjoying watching the baby giraffe do this.

 

[Maxabillions]

What an a-hole, how dare he be happy about taking a good mark after not being able to play for a year

 

[cobra land]

FWIW I loved having him back and the fact that's he's enjoying his footy, maybe would like to see him kick those goals is that too much to expect ?.
