Free Agent # 6: Joe Daniher (part 1)

[bacon buster]

Not really. I think you'd find it hard to argue against the fact that it's only recently Zach Merrett has become not underrated. He was playing at a level that belied public opinion for quite a while. It's hugely commonplace that public appreciation and understanding lags behind performance

the point he was making is why does anyone care whether opposition supporters or commentators think your players are over/underrated. generally, you know your own players better than opposition supporters do.

i think guys like Fantasia, Joe and Zach are getting a lot of credit this year. but it's like the football world only started noticing them, despite the fact they all played really well last year, in extremely tough circumstances

ultimately, Joe is already halfway to his end of year goal tally, and he's a 3rd of the way through the season. if he can kick 60 goals, i think we'll be well placed to make it back to the finals.

Noticed with his set shots. One miss was clearly poor ball drop. The ones he did kick he lined up and aimed left and got the natural swing to the right.

The one on 3QT was exactly what you just described, and the camera angle showed it perfectly.

Over and under rated are the biggest bullshit terms ever. How exactly do you work out what his rating is and then whether his performance is over or under that mark? Not sure why people get caught up on this?

I understand what you are saying.
I would say that when most footy fans talk player ratings in this context its probably more of a comment on player popularity rather than a direct skill assessment.

Daniher's 4th on the shots at goal for this year, behind Kennedy, Cameron and Franklin.

I think our boy will have some great battles over the next 5 years for the Coleman with Tom Lynch and Cameron

I can fix his goal kicking - offer a medal at the end of every game

Great. Now I'm gonna have nightmares.

 

[Rack Watts]

[DapperJong]

You mean schache them up right

I know the stats aren't readily available, but I'd love to know how many times they have been targeted going forward and what percentage of their respective teams forward entries this comprises. Just from observation it seems that while Joe is having his best season so far we are also less focused on him solely.

Worsfold said the tall forward had "done nothing different than his normal week to week" training to consolidate his improved accuracy (8.2 in the past two matches) after returning 1.6 against Melbourne and 3.4 against Richmond.

Jade no need to predict how many goals he'll kick for dreamtime

 

[Lance Uppercut]

am looking forward to when he is actually signed up for next year

Apparently there are 19 key forwards better than Daniher in the AFL currently. Better tell him to stop performing like one of the top 5 then.

Top 5 my arse.

He's top three at worst.

Buddy, Cameron, Kennedy.

Buddy, Cameron, Kennedy.

He's the next tier down at the moment with the likes of Hawkins, Lynch, Cameron and Riewoldt. Fourth of fifth at the moment.

 

[Jade]

Buddy, Cameron, Kennedy.

Has Kennedy and Buddy covered right now - no doubt.

 

[jmoo wan]

admittedly i don't watch a lot of football, but based on what i have seen, he's easily top three

Not sure about that.

 

[Jade]

Not sure about that.

You dont to have to be sure...

Just have faith.

 

[DapperDon]

His around the grond work is superior bar none, if he didn't have a couple of shockers goal wise there'd be no discussion on who the in form forward is.

 

[jmoo wan]

he's won more medals than every other forward combined this year.
