Free Agent # 6: Joe Daniher (part 1)

[Essendonia]

Do you think he will kick his 100 against GC in Rd 22 or against Carlton in Rd 23?

Carlton....



Round 3

JD still only has the tank to be 100% effective for half a game.So it's important that he gets value for his effective time. Next year he will be good for three quarters and a full game in 2016.

Even though he has like 20 cm on McMahon, his marks back with the flight were awesome.

Havana Finey! Giving shit to a Swans fan who has wasted 50 years following footy. Who says Swans fans have any idea about footy?

His enjoyment of footy is ****ing fantastic to see! Makes me laugh everytime he kicks a goal or takes a screamer that his face splits in half with excitement. THIS is what footy is about!!!

RIP Hurbleton

it was rubbish anyway

Still early days.. but those two marks tonight just give me goosebumps.. special.

You just know he is going to be a player.. and if he can kick 2 goals a game.. for 30-50 for the season.. then he will have done more than enough for his second year..

Had Thompson for most of the game, who to be fair, is still giving away probably 12 cms on him.

Scotty's a good player, was pleased joe made him accountable so he couldn't do his own thing

The two marks were great.

I still saw a lot of things that he needs to improve on last night. (YES I know he is a kid etc. I know that this is expected and he is tracking along really nicely). He has a great jump/hands yet too easily he gets pushed off the ball/drops marks when there is pressure on him/gets pushed off the ball drop zone/is out of position in the forward 50/doesn't lead at the right times.

He will develop into a great player and if we get 30 goals from him this year I'll be really happy but we can't seriously challenge for a flag IMO until he is ready and that is still two years away.

2 Van Der Haar-esque marks that led to 2 goals.

I'm rigid

The AA full back should have had body on him and not been a apart of the crowd in awe of his raw athleticism then

How good was his youthfulness? smiling after dat mark? Seems like he genuinely enjoys playing football, for the love of the game and not just as a full time job.

 

[Doss]

His best game so far.

Freakin' exciting.

 

[Yoda_]

Just like in his 18 days, he will be prone to the good game (last night) but then next week he will go bang and kick a bag or go severely missing.

Still need to be patient and wait for that consistency to come from a mature 60 - 80 game player.

Signs are ominous though, could be anything

When he took that mark and hurt Carlisle, i had to chuckle that he was yelling "COME ON!" and high fiving Carlisle as he hobbled from the field

Funny watching the game on TV, Marty Gleeson couldn't contain his excitement for Joe when he sat down next to the kid.

Just watched a replay of the game and immediately had to come here to tell you I think I have a new favorite player. His courage for a first gamer was incredible to watch. Haven't seen anyone since brown run back with the flight and crash packs so often. Kid is fearless!! Beautiful to watch I envy you Essendon fans, have a real superstar on your hands!

Not his first game, but the rest of your points are valid.

 

[VelvetSledge]

Love the subtle Goddard-esque chest pump after his first goal on Friday.

[rines]

Could almost be a career defining mark.. considering his career is at 'the cross roads'...

Just how awesome is that mark..

 

[Zach Package]

amazing.

second one's better, but on further inspection, Joe fending off Thompsons attempted roundhouse to the neck with one arm while he pulls it down with the other might just put it over the top

 

[yaco55]

I think that JD has shown lots of consistency in his short career to date. He can always get his hands on the ball when he rucks around the ground. You'll find that his output will be higher in the first half,than in the second half for the next two years.

 

[Old Campaigner]

Merrett looks a bit pissed that Joe cut his lunch for him. Was in great position for it.
