Saw the news on Facebook and then stupidly read the comments, don’t think I can defend this supporter base when other teams supporters call us nuffies, seems many only remember the few bad times and not the player that got AA and almost won the Coleman in 2017.

Its a really good sign that Daniher is able to step up his training to do some match simulation. If he keeps progressing smoothly then you'd think he'd be available pretty early in the season whether that be round 1 or a few more weeks.

I dunno if it's because of the team they support, or perhaps just the social media outlet they choose to use. Facebook seems to attract the lowest common denominator from all clubs, all sports, and on all interest pages generally.

I just had a read, I am embarrassed to support the same club as some of those people, What the hell is wrong with them?

Will have to earn his selection via solid VFL form ... too obvious?
I think it would be very risky to plonk him straight into a league game straight off the bat with just training match sim as his only preparation.

Considering he has had a chronic groin problem, I’d be thinking he’ll start off in the VFL where the pace is a bit slower.

And not to mention that rd 1,2,3 games are played flat out on dry pitches at full pace from all involved.

Being the size that he his I’m hoping the club shows extreme caution and doesn’t get too carried away with a return asap.

I’m in no hurry to get him back.

Groins are hidden time bombs that can go off without warning.

He’s a worry.
