I reckon a fair few of those points in 2001 would have been from snap too, he just didn't miss from the set shot back then, especially at Etihad.

I f.ucking love this guy. his kicking is completely hit or miss..... but that'll come. it's his enthusiasm, his tackling, his taps.... that most of the team mates aren't even expecting! (and are fumbling), his running and his involvement...... this guy could be anything. lets hope he doesn't cop some Paul Salmon / Van Der Haar type injury from the way he throws himself around!

LOVE THE DERP!!!!
Not like we have any recently retired champion left foot FF floating around that can teach him how to kick...

Was an outstanding kick of the ball.

Actually was just a ****ing beast of a player. :(

I don't suppose you were a good bloke and brought back an Almanac for us all to enjoy? Or are you gonna be a campaigner like Biff and hog it all for yourself?

What year did the AFL relocate Norf?

When was Dane Swan found ODing in an alley?

Did they ever find out who beat the crap out of Peter Gordon outside his home?

How many years of salary cap pressure did the AFL allow Sydney to waive from Buddy's contract?

Was the bus that ran Caro over deliberately steered towards her?

Did Fogarty have his coronary in the stands or was it not at the ground?

Oh, and how was Star Wars IX?

Do the Kings win the NHL Playoffs 4-1 and who wins the NBA playoffs?

Forget all that, I want to know if ASADA have completed their investigation yet? Or are they still waiting for Dank to talk, even though he has been dead for 20 years?

North relocated to Launceston, Tasmania in 2019.

Dane Swan was found in a pool of garlic sauce at King's Cross, Sydney - 11/09/2014

The lead suspect for the assault Josh Bootsma was thoroughly interrogated but appeared to have a air-tight alibi (a 15 year old girl who he was Skyping at the time).

Buddy Franklin's contract was honored in it's entirety. This crippled Sydney for a decade. Parker went to Essendon. Kennedy went to GWS and Tippett went to Launceston Kangaroos.

Bus driver "Ugekpto Mwalili" had his conviction of murder reduced to manslaughter on the grounds that he believed Caro was so hideous that she was not born of this Earth

Fogarty actually died from a "rogue frisbee" to the neck

It was shit

Joe needs to watch some footage of Riewoldt (x2) to understand how to throw his arms out and accentuate contact. he gets positively mauled week in week out and is rarely given blatant free kicks.

When guys like Dunstall and King are saying an Essendon player is getting a raw deal from the umps you know he's getting 100% shafted.

Yesterday in the first half in particular it was disgusting how he was getting held, scragged and hit with round arms to the head in marking contests, but 3 umpires couldn't see it.

Sadly the guy is a Daniher and I think it's against their genetic make up to play for frees, they just dust themselves off and keep going.

Club also needs to get a tape together and send it to the AFL and media outlets.. highlight it in the papers.. and watch him get a heap of frees next week..

He unfortunately won't start getting those calls until he's more established. Youngsters - particularly those up forward - are for some reason mostly ignored by umpires.

Or until their coaches start making subtle calls during their pressers... I can picture Ross Lyon saying "I thought Daniher was really good today, his running patterns were good, he could've kicked a bit straighter, he was also unlucky with a few calls that could've gone his way".

At least he isn't flopping around and playing for the free. Would much rather see him have a couple calls go against him then him be acting like a fish. Hopefully the umpires look at it and fix the calls going forward, was very frustrating seeing one arm being held behind him in a 2 on 1 (and still almost taking the grab).

Good thing is that we can all see he is a decent shot for goal on the run. We just need to teach him how to organise himself with a set shot. It will come in time.

Love this kid. I wish we were giving him more help up forward this year. A smokey for the rising star.

Punters seem to agree. Into $12 now. Zac Merrett was $101 before his rising star. Into $41 now.
