would be leading the vfl goal kicking if he was converting better.
Hell, would almost be leading the goal kicking anyway had he not had a rest a while back

Worst. Porno. Ever.
I didn't realise he was quite THAT quick. I reckon Sydney at the SCG would be an extremely tough initiation though for a young key forward. Even Franklin struggles to get goals against Sydney and on the smaller ground it will always be 2v1 with their great positioning. On the plus size though he will have an absolutely massive height advantage. Plus I kind of agree that we aren't really expected to win anyway so might as well throw in a young gun (particularly one who has earned a spot with great consistency). I could see Crameri up the ground and Daniher at full forward working pretty damn good.
However all that said Gumbleton never deserved to get dropped and by all accounts had a pretty good game in the VFL despite playing somewhat out of position. Its all so hard. I don't even know what I want.
Well anyway this is why the coaches get the big bucks. At least we've got one for the future. It's getting to the point where even the opposition is commenting on just how good Daniher is going to be. Its only a matter of time until he debuts.

Ran into Bomber as I was leaving Vic Park on Sat at 3/4 time with my gf. Couldn't resist the temptation to ask him about Joe. How far is Joe from getting a game Bomber?His reply was exciting and reassuring.
"yeah, he is good isn't he. He is very very close to getting a game." he said. Then smiled at me and walked off as I yelled out GO BOMBERS as we both got into our cars.
Personally with the admission that Hurley is unlikely to play this weekend I think that we will probably see Joe this week or next.
With sooooo many fwd 50 entries of late, combined with our relatively disfunctional fwd line, and the possibility of playing on the small SCG - these are the perfect conditions for Daniher to come in for Hurley.
At 94kgs & 201cm the kid is hardly a light weight and chances are given Crameri & Bellchambers/Ryder in Fwd line along with Winders, we will stretch the opposition massively.
Ideally Joe would come in with a Davey an Hurley & Winders comes out. Joe can play for a half or so and then be subbed off if he is puffed. Davey will need to wait for another week due to injury.

Any chance that Crameri has the most lead up marks by our forwards ?

I think he is a lightweight for his size. When he is physically at his peak in a few years I'd expect him to be nudging 105 - 110 kgs so he is a long way off. Guys like Richards would push him under the ball with relative ease atm. Running at the ball will be his strength early in his career and I don't think the SCG gives him enough space to do this.

But what about airspace? At the highest point? They won't be plugging those atmospheric holes..

Seeing as our forward delivery is 10ft over everyone's heads at the moment, the time is right for a Derp picnic.

But they will prevent him from getting to more contests than he usually does, and block his run hence limit his jump.
Sorry to be realistic, but I don't think Swans at the SCG is a great place to debut him.
The following week at the MCG where there is space vs Carlton who struggle with KPFs is a completely different story though and where I'd expect him to debut if he is to debut some time soon.

That's cringeworthy good.
I don't think we need to protect him like that. He does not seem like a kid who is going to lose confidence if he doesn't have a great game. He's a 19 years old KPF, his form is inevitably going to be all over the place early on. We already know that he is much too good for the VFL so if he's ready and a position is available get him out there.

How? Remembering HE TAKES THE BALL AT IT'S HIGHEST POINT.
WHAT? He marks the ball before it starts to drop? Jebus

He's 94 kg- Tippett is 104, Clark is 103, Petrie 101, Charlie Dixon 105. I think between 100 and 105 is more preferable for JD for his height profile.
I understand Dixon isn't at the level of the other 3 yet but they're the two key forwards/part time rucks to look out for in the future

Actually he is probably due to be rested again shortly no?
Anyway, what would it say to Gumby if they put him in instead? A KPF has to slip up for him to get the chance surely? Having said that, there's muttering about Crameri being not quite right. If that's the case, then for gods sake rest him, and bring in JD!
Another thought... If we were to bring him in now with success then he would be fatigued towards the end of the season. If we save him up, what a prospect he could be for the second half of the year + finals!

ON the real plane of existence, I entirely agree with you. Sydney would have blokes running across his path, hanging off him and just hampering him generally all day. He'd probably win a free or two, but it would be a difficult match to start with. Not saying he couldn't deal with it, but it'd go entirely against TRB approach so far, and would be psychologically harsh on the kid to have to try to live up to debut expectations in that kind of playing environment.
