Read on some thread earlier this week that there are some young players at the club who've become a tad narcissistic. Not sure if this dovetails with the knowledge of who that/those young players are, but I heard a story from some Bland Shire (NSW) locals last week that wasn't very impressive.

The council out there had a big Sherrin made and mounted on a pole and put up in Ungarie. Apparently Joe was asked to make an appearance in the town for its unveiling. Conditions he'd set were that he wouldn't do it unless they paid for his flight there and back, which is obviously fair enough. As well, though, that they had to also pay for some of his mates to fly up and back with him. It was said that after he didn't even stick around because they had a party to get back to in Melbourne.

Not sure how true this all is, but a shit attitude if so. That town reveres the Danihers.
**** going to that thing. sounds boring as. Couldn't pay me to watch the unfurling of a giant footy.

Anyone given this new StatsPro thing a go yet?

Decided to try out the comparison thing between Daniher and Brown for the lols...:

Brown is about a year older, but was drafted a year later (as a 21 year old), and debuted a year after that.
Brown has played sixteen less games (so they've played about the same number of games per year).
They're the same height, but Brown is 6kg heavier.

Brown has elite accuracy in front of goal (61%). Joe's is below average (49%).
Joe's marking is above average, contested marking is elite. Brown's are average and above average respectively.

Brown's hit-out win percentage is average, Joe's below average.
Joe's clearances (centre, stoppage and total) are above average, Brown's are below average, average and average respectively.

Joe has an above average number of possessions (both contested and uncontested). Brown's are average.
Joe's disposals, kicks, inside 50s, bounces and frees for are all above average, while Brown's are average or below average.



So I guess altogether Brown is elite in front of goal and makes the most of his opportunities, and is a better as a back-up ruck taking the hit-out.

Joe is better around the ground insofar as clearances and inside 50s particularly, and a serviceable kick at goal. He brings up his goal stat through frequent opportunities which result of elite contested marking.


I think I still prefer Joe. :p He might not kick goals directly but he gets the ball to someone else who will kick it when he's not kicking them himself.

Serious question, is Joe carrying a niggle? Hasn't looked right this year and seems a step-off pace (for him).
Someone else posted on here that he has been playing hurt - back apparently. Could explain his lack of bounce. Hopefully the extended break sees him come back ready to tear it up on ANZAC day. Be great to see one out of the box for Joe.

The difference between Brown and Joe was perfectly illustrated today, when north get clean ball Brown is unstoppable because they clear out the forward line for him. When the chips are down he goes missing because he’s not able to impact the game in any other way other than mark, kick, goal.

Brown is a much more traditional forward; he’s a good contested grab without sitting on people’s heads, he’s a reliable kick for goal without being able to kick them from 60 on the run.

Brown is very good at what he’s good at, he works hard, and he’s a great player without being likely to ever be rated a top-5 in the comp the way Franklin is.

Daniher has the freakish attributes to have a higher ceiling, but is much less reliable and appears to be well off his best.

At the moment you’d play Brown if you have both in your team and can only pick one. Doubt either team would give one up for the other though.

Brad Scott was on The Couch tonight, talking about his attitude towards goal kicking practice. Scott said it's all about repetition. He polls rank on the sport science and physios at his club to make sure his players have plenty of set shots. As a result, Ben Brown has hundreds of set shots a week.

This is the only was Daniher will fix his goal kicking!

For **** sake, if Joe was having hundreds of set shots every week over the past couple of years, all this sh** would be over!
