'Scary prospect' in the making
“He’s probably one of the hardest working guys along with Orazio Fantasia, Dyson Heppell and Zach Merrett – they’re probably the four guys that work the hardest on their game,” Skipworth told Bomber Radio.
“On top of his normal training, he’s probably doing four or five extra goal kicking sessions.
“The sessions are focused on different things so it might be 0-30 [metres out] one day, 30-50 one day and he works on his set-shot snaps.
“His vision is to be a really accurate goal kicking forward and he knows how important it is, we know how important it is.
“He cops a lot because he’s a young key forward who has got such a bright future.
“We’ve got full confidence that it will come together and we’ve just got to stay patient.”
Daniher has played 77 games for the Bombers, including one final, for a return of 124 goals.

While there may be confusion is some commentary boxes about what kick Daniher will opt for in certain situations, Skipworth said the Dons spearhead has a clear plan in place.
“Basically his routine is anything inside a 45 degree angle is a set shot, outside a 45 degree angle to the boundary line and in close on his right side is a right foot snap, a bit further back is a check-side … then on the left hand side in close is a left foot snap,” he said.
“Last year he copped a bit with his snapping, [but] he did kick 8.2 and they were wide and long shots so to kick 80 per cent is incredible for a guy that just added it to its arsenal last year … we’re happy with the way that’s coming along.”
