From the Herald-Sun;
Earlier on radio, Daniher expressed interest in the possibility of getting Jeff Farmer back from Fremantle. Farmer twice topped Melbourne's goalkicking under Daniher at Melbourne before returning to Western Australia.
Daniher said Farmer always had good mentors when he played at Melbourne, including former captain Garry Lyon who looked after him early in his career.
"When he was just going off the rails, Garry would just look after him and a little bit later on you had blokes like David Schwarz and David Neitz," Daniher said.
"I guess now he should be old enough and mature enough to look after himself and I think he's a bloke who needs a little bit of help around the place."
When Melbourne finished runner-up to Essendon in the 2000 season, Farmer kicked 76 goals and made All-Australian selection.
Daniher said it was always difficult to get players from opposition clubs and because the Demons did not have a lot of dollars, it would also get down to which players would need to be traded.
"Our supporters loved the Wizard and I loved coaching him, but it might be all pie in the sky stuff," he told 3AW.
