Free Agent # 6: Joe Daniher (part 1)

[Ess_don]

Went down. Joey kicked 3.

At times was buffeted about by bigger bodies as expected, but his reach is freakish (As is his tiny head). The defenders had real trouble countering that reach, on at least 2 occasions got free kicks for having his arms knocked away. Also had a brief stint in the ruck.

Sat next to Alex Browne. He seems convined that Joey is going to be a superstar. Also a huge wrap for Martin Gleeson, saying he will be ready sooner than later.

Oh really? Centre square and/or boundary throw ins?
Can you please comment on how he went?? Good leap? Good body work? Taps it at the highest point?

Does he trip balls at his highest point?

Does he trip balls at his highest point?

Think there is a VFL practice game on Saturday.

Sad to say, I don't expect him to play seniors anytime soon. He was still training with the vfl boys today at windy hill. To be honest, I also don't expect Daniher to play in Round 1 of the home/away season either.

Rnd 2 Vs Melbourne

Hopefully, a soft game against soft opposition

 

[Synth]

He will be playing VFL vs Collingwood this week for those keen to 'check him out'

 

[Doss]

Best not to refer to Melbourne like that, until we can actually beat them.

 

[Rack Watts]

I guarantee it.

There's something on his tongue!

 

[Bombers36]

Shame hes not lining up against GWS tmrow, you'd think hes very unlikely to line up against Adelaide 2 weeks after that. Seems the club is taking its time with him which is understandable given the miserable outcome with our last great white hope one S. Gumbleton....

 

[Rack Watts]

Like we know how to beat them? Haha

 

[Andronicus]

It will be fine.

We only lost to melbourne because we were coming down off a 6 month high. End of a massive bender like that and most people would play below par.

 

[daffo]

massive WCE bender

A piece of the ball fell down on his tongue when he took it at it's highest point.

amidoinitright?

 

[daz17]

Probably just a star.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountain_pass

Mountain passes make use of a gap, saddle or col (also sometimes a notch, hause, bwlch (Welsh), brennig or bealach (Gaelic), the low point in a ridge. A topographic saddle is analogous to the mathematical concept of a saddle surface, with a saddle point marking the highest point between two valleys and the lowest point along a ridge.[1][2] On a topographic map, passes are characterized by contour lines with an hourglass shape, which indicates a low spot between two higher points.[3]

Did Daniher go to Colorado?

 

[Tommy08]

All I've heard from the reserves game is that Cory kicked 5. Did Joe play?

Yep and Kicked 2.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Didn't play well, probably had 7-8 touches. Kicked two goals, one from a weak ruck infringement and subsequent 50 when the opposition complained, he literally dribbled it over the line as no one was standing the mark. Best highlight was a mark on the wing below his knees running at close to full pace.

ESSENDON Prized father-son recruit Joe Daniher is in contention for a spot in the Bombers' forward line. The teenage beanpole and fellow key forward Scott Gumbleton looked dangerous at VFL level and continue to press their claims for a call-up.

Gumby would be ahead if they are considering another forward IMO.
Also lol at teenage beanpole.

pffft let's hear it from callum first.


(poor stuff by callum to go on an ais tour when we're playing)

 

[daffo]

He would still be a couple of weeks away at least.
