Free Agent # 6: Joe Daniher (part 1)

[Lore]

Getting a little tired of the hand in the the air asking for it over the top every time for the hangar, wish he'd get in his bike just as much and hit the ball carrier

I think his knee is not as good as they would have us believe. He hasn't taken any massive marks and his agility hasn't been as brilliant ever since he jarred his foot into the ground and then hyper-extended his knee the following week. Pretty much just jumps straight up and down in the ruck and that's it.

Love Joe, but if he doesn't stop the acting soon he's going to get labelled.

too late im afraid. All the commentators are onto it.

 

[maskmcgee]

**** got beaten by that prick Brown.

Yeah...like Lloydy did when he was staging. Just play the ball properly and enough frees will come his way anyway.

Thing is they don't though. Can't believe how much he gets scragged and pushed for no reward

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Got beaten again.

probably does get unfairly scragged but sure lets everyone know about it.

True. I reckon it's a bit chicken and egg by now though

This is a good point. I'd have to check the timing but it does seem as though his form has dipped a bit since then.

I hope he likes sponge baths coz Reg Grundy will be holding him so much he'll most likely follow JD back to the hotel to give him one after the game..

 

[Alfred E Neuman]

I wonder if the drop off in his last 3-4 games will cost him a spot in the 22.

Grundy could be looking at a week off for an elbow on Casboult.
Hopefully Carltons medical report is as damaging as usual.

Grundy is the biggest scragger in the league hope he gets rubbed out.

 

[Unfazed]

Anyone notice the way he limped after Stewart kicked the last goal? He looked in a bit of pain although he seemed to walk off the ground ok at the end of the game. Hope he rests up over the next week.

I think they will go with three KPF and Buddy, Kennedy and Daniher are clearly ahead of Brown and Walker. He is a very good chance of making the team.

 

[Milanista28]

Week off will do him wonders, Has worked his ass off this season, Never stopped.

****ing champion already this guy.

Didn't notice it and have absolutely no evidence or knowledge, but I think he's been very sore the past few games. Not sure if he's carrying something, wouldn't surprise me if he was.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Brown gave Joe a little clip on the couch saying that he needs to stop leaning forward hoping for a free reckon if he keeps doing the umpires will not give him those 50/50 free kicks.

Cant help but agree needs to get it out of his game.

 

[tperks]

Think he's a certainty for AA. Out of him, brown, Kennedy and buddy he's the only one who consistently goes into the ruck. Can't play 3 tall forwards who are all inept ruckman

 

[Killer_Mike]

Getting a bit tired of the Joe playing for free kick commentary going on. Yes, it's not a good look but if the umpires did their job and paid the ones that are there he wouldn't have to play for them all the time.

Same thing happened to Lloydy unfortunately. Couldn't win a free to save himself so had to make sure the umpires saw them but of course, it didn't help.

Some players you can't touch and some you can scrag until the cows come home. Unfortunately, Joe falls into the latter.

Got beaten again.

And still made a meaningful contribution (2 goals) to the result of the game

He doesn't have to play for them all the time. He doesn't have to play for them at all. Just try to mark the ball and have faith that they'll pay something if it's there. If they don't then just keep playing. You're on a hiding to nothing doing that sort of shit and there's no better way to ensure you don't get any frees going forward (as you correctly point out in the second part of your post).
