Free Agent # 6: Joe Daniher (part 1)

[Vindicater]

How good are those cheeky little red dots peeking out from the centre square...

 

[Old Campaigner]

did he factor in all the OOF?

I think that chart is from figuring footy, which I think includes OOTF. No idea where he gets his source data from though as ootf is not a published stat and the spot where it's kicked from isn't recorded anywhere except in the commentary (e.g. "50m out on the left hand boundary"). The only way I can get ootf data is to reverse engineer it from the accuracy percentages available on the AFL website (it's a lot of work to do it that way and there's no easy way to import data, it's all manual copy and paste).

Played well in his other final. Need a big game from him today.

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

Feels like he has been a bit down towards the end of the year. Perfect time to tear it up and destroy them.

 

[maskmcgee]

Of course the ONE TIME the umpires decide to pay him free kicks it's in a game that's over 5 minutes into the second quarter.

And when he's 150m from goal anyway

 

[daffo]

Finished the year with 65 goals. That's a great effort.

 

[Gumby2Hurley]

Joey doing well 5 seasons in just like Lynch and Cameron. All three have won 1 AA. Since the start of 2014, Daniher has only missed 2 games out of 90 .

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Think it's safe to say that Harry McKay will be a far better player than Nick Larkey.

GO JOE!

70+ next season please.

 

[Lethal]

Finished 9th overall in the players mvp award.

 

[Vindicater]

What a wonderful season by Daniher.

Had a ripper final again, once we fix our midfield this guy is going to be a class above again.

 

[HirdyLannister]

Next year I'm expecting around 75 goals from him!

75-80 should be his aim.

 

[Milanista28]

Already watched 4 times, Will watch all summer.

Last chance to vote for Joey's mark!

The good news is out of the three candidates the other two are pies, so pie supporters can't all vote for one player. Bad news is other people probably hate us more than they hate Collingwood

 

[Summer Nights]

Not a fan of setting a goal-based target for Joe... not a super high one anyway. I would be happy with 60 again if his influence was consistently dominant and the team around him performed.

 

[eth-dog]

I want him to get to 250 goals next year (career, not in a year). That'll push his career average above 2 goals a game

Anyone judging players before the have finished a 4th season should really check Josh Kennedy there, hardly the best start to a career for a gun key forward especially compared to the rest of those guys. Just goes to show you shouldn't write players off early. Not the same position but a little comparison for first 3 years

Josh Kennedy 29 games, 18 goals
Kyle Langford 31 games, 19 goals
Jayden Laverde 23 games, 14 goals

 

[Drummer_19]

I don't see him hitting 75 - 80 if he's playing the same sort of role.

 

[maskmcgee]

Well we're going on the theory that he played his first 6 games at less than 100% and his last 4 games injured, that's effectively 10 games where his output was 50% lower than average. Fit, he should kick 90.

 

[Bomberbuzz1]

I could see him getting somewhere in the 70's. Avg 3 this year will likely peak at 4. He'd be no doubt the most valuable player if he went over 4 a game.

 

[MiguelM]

He is wasted pinch hitting in the ruck IMO

 

[Doss]

If he doesn't kick 250 goals in the 2018 season he's failed.

Disagree. Remember Anzac Day when the Pies were briefly getting on top? He moved into the ruck and snuffed that out nice and quickly.

All AFL players play a number of games every season at under 100% fitness.
