He's one of those rare forwards who you feel is a genuine chance to mark whenever the ball is in his area. None of our tall forwards have this trait.

If he can get to a Gumby-like level when the ball hits the ground (which is not asking for much) he'll be a nightmare match-up.

Gumbleton is putrid at ground level
 
I remember hearing Simon Goodwin interviewed on Radio before the Round 1 Crows game and he was asked about Joe and said he didnt think he would be in line for selection until round 10. Its round 10.........:D

Psychologically harsh?

Jesus just let the kid play footy.

You don't think that if he debuted against Sydney, kicked no goals and was worn like a glove all day that it wouldn't get him down? And you don't think that TRB have protected him this far, but will whimsically backflip and throw him into the fire against the reigning premiers who are generally renowned as the most miserly team of the past few decades?

I don't know the kid, I don't know if he's a ball of ego like Fev and won't care, or if he's going to be a confidence player like the majority of our boys...? To me, one seems more likely than the other, plus with propensities relating to age, inexperience, hype et cetera, it is not unreasonable for me to question the mental impact a failed debut might have and that it would be a consideration in determining when the kid is selected to debut.

For mine, I hope he comes in for a big game, and that he performs to the highest point of his abilities:thumbsu: But in this day and age with sports psychologists and the way kids are raised (ie, not a hard-knock life), I suspect TRB will manage his debut carefully, as it has managed his entire career before it has even begun. Not a bizarre notion.

I find it very hard to believe any Daniher would take such a thing to heart.

Uncle Terry: Geez lad, he got the better of you last night didn't he
Derp: Yeah, but whatyado?
Dad: Just go harder next time
Uncle Terry: I'm glad we had this chat. Who wants a beer?
Derp: Would love one, thanks for the advise guys.

True, can't discount the Daniher factor.
 
It is time to let him see what he can do. I think the sydney defense would find it hard to stop someone with his set of dukes. There would be a lot of 2 up on him and that brings the ball to ground where we have an extra player. I think Daniher is a bit more rugged than some give him credit for and i reckon he is ready for a go.

Reminds me of an interview I heard with TD after 1990 GF where was asked about knocking Gavin Brown into next week...his response was " Yeah...he"ll learn from that...." Still makes me chuckle.

Very tough, resilient family.
 
Not sure if it's already been mentioned, but at the sponsor night last week, one or two of the other players specifically mentioned Daniher marking the ball at its highest point.

We then had to awkwardly explain why that comment drew muffled laughter from us.

Haha, he probably assumed you were at YOUR highest point.
 
I can understand the highest point comment. It means the highest point the ball is at once it hits the imaginary vertical line above a pack. I mean, we all get that, don't we?

Me either, must have been too loosely attached to what we were talking about?

I think the joke is that marking at 'the highest point' would technically be when the ball is literally at it's highest point before gravity takes over, as opposed to Joe marking it at 'the highest point' where the ball is well and truly under on the way down.

Then again, I've probably just drawn a completely different interpretation to what was intended.
