yeah that seems true. Convince a guy to come to your club, but if you have trade for him you are no longer interested. They see Joe potentially being the key to a dynasty, they’ll trade for him if we match.
A few other interesting points in the article (who knows how accurate)
- Joey wants to play more ruck with Brisbane to get further down the ground. Brisbane want to play him purely as a forward.
- Fagan has had to reassure the other forwards in the team (mentioned McStay and Hipwood) that they’ll still in their plans for 2021 and they don’t instead to replace them.
I get the impression that the Lions view this as a decent get, but not an amazing achievement to land Daniher.
Edit - not saying that Daniher is amazing. But it’s interesting to see it. To Essendon, Daniher is a centrepiece it seems. To Brisbane, a handy addition.
