Free Agent # 6: Joe Daniher (part 1)

[Dave]

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

For sure. Perhaps many are taking solace in our form last year when he didn’t play.

 

[Atavistic]

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.

Don't forget the Carlton game.

 

[yodellinhank]

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

People have become conditioned to it all.

 

[boncer34]

For sure. Perhaps many are taking solace in our form last year when he didn’t play.

Which is fair but that form still had us a couple of kicks off the top teams.

 

[Runk]

Don't forget the Carlton game.

How can we when people keep bringing it up?

How do they keep forgetting we lost to them with him already?

Hi fiving is obviously bad for your calves

Hugs only from this point on.

I remember it rained. I don't know how much credence you can place in a game in which it rains.

It's 1 player and we have depth in that position.

It sucks but it's happened. There are far worse things that could have happened then a player tearing a calf.

 

[ghostdog]

Meh. If we beat GWS without him we should just trade him. At least we win trade week.

Brown, McKernan and Stringer are a much more dynamic forwardline anyway

Try to get our pick back, could be a good one.

True, no doubt that we are a better team with him fit and firing. I take some solace from the fact that it’s happened now and not at the end of the season

Absolutely better with him in form. The injury sucks but IMO he was a way off being 100%. When he plays underdone he becomes a liability for the whole team, first half of last year proves it.

We now go into the game not trying to play him into form which could lose our focus.

 

[I Remember Bluey]

God I'm getting depressed:

It was bad enough getting OP and having to stand down Mrs Palmer until further notice, then:

Zach leaves me for Dylan, then:

Brown/McKernan or both kicks me when I'm not looking, now

You my adoring fans are turning on me.

Woe is me, come back soon Mrs Palmer, I desperately need a helping hand to guide me through these dark nights.

Riewoldt suggestion something stinks about joes calf injury

he called it "bizarre"

according to he, nobody does a calf by being kicked, and even if you did, 6 weeks is a long calf injury..

Gary Lyon chimed in.. "and then he went to do captains day pics... ive done a lot of calves, ,m when you do a calf you are at home, not standing about doing pictures.."

so what are they suggesting? the calf is cover for the groin?

or the calf is a Harley Bennell/Buddy franklin sniff sniff calf?

 

[Knighta21]

It's his OP I reckon, does smell funny and Essendon have also done funny buggers with injuries in the past.

Of course it's his OP. 100%.

I don't believe a word of what comes out of EFC regarding Joe.

 

[boncer34]

Riewoldts a peanut. You can 100% do a calf from a kick, unless by miraculous coincidence my calf pinged the nanosecond before it was kicked.

The story didn’t come out of the club anyway. The kick to the calf injury thing came from another forum and Facebook, which was then a tear on the afl website, which was then a strain on the Essendon website. The club was the last to break the news, they’re not exactly controlling the narrative here.

 

[BomberFan355]

Needs to be like the UFC, I wanna see an MRI of the injury!

 

[daffo]

My guess is that the club knew he wouldn't be ready for round one and the op is still lingering around so they decided to give him another month to build up the tank.
