Free Agent # 6: Joe Daniher (part 1)

[Zach Package]

He couldn't be a worse kick than Cloke... Could he?

He's not in the Richo/Cloke/Franklin group who regularly shank shots OOF. Joe makes good-very good contact the majority of the time and misses well, if that makes any sense at all.

He's 20, he just needs to bed down a routine and work on it, just as gumby did

 

[Jobe Watson]

McBean taken Majak's title as the best player to have never played an AFL game?

 

[I Remember Bluey]

Get Lloyd down to the club to give him some goal kicking practice.

Just what we don't need, the poor bugger will do his back in bending down from a great height 10-15 times a game picking up a piece of grass.

 

[loopy_cam]

Still don't think Joe will be best 21 next year. In and out I reckon. Still too soon.

I do hope to be proven wrong though.

Lets be realistic - On what JD has shown at all levels, his kicking for goal is below average. On what i've seen Cloke and Franklin are more reliable shots at goal - Not by alot - And you are good kick under any conditions.

 

[akiva]

JD's a young boy that is going to have a lot of responsibility as a KPP for us in 2014.
I think he will be very inconsistent not only during the year but even through games, he might have a first half of 10 marks 4 goals and then 2 more touches for the rest of the game.
Also clubs will be sending their best defenders to him, he will learn a lot this year.

Don't know about him kicking 8-9 goals next season like some people said, I'd be happy to see a few games of 4's and 5's maybe a 6..
On the other hand don't know how many expected Camron to have the year he had, so you never know...

Agree

efa

Nah

 

[Loonerty]

Carlisle showed way way more as a defender than he did as a forward.
We can't afford just yet to bring Hurley back, since we have no other option for CHF.

 

[NC23]

Just throwing it out there as a hypothetical.. Chuck Pears forward and swing Hurley back (post Fletcher era)? In that case we get the Hurlisle backline, and I'd guess Pears can be like a fill in forward role - he has the burst of speed to burn on the lead

 

[Oh Tayteridge]

How about we stop ****ing around with the forward line and just play our natural forwards forward and our natural backs back?

 

[HirdyLannister]

How about we stop ******* around with the forward line and just play our natural forwards forward and our natural backs back?

That's Carlisle forward and Hurley back then.

 

[rines]

Still don't think Joe will be best 21 next year. In and out I reckon. Still too soon.

I do hope to be proven wrong though.

With Crameri and Gumby gone.. Joe will be playing a majority of games.

Regardless.. I think JD will perform well enough to hold his spot. Maybe like a young Hawkins.. will be inconsistent for sure but the upside is huge and experience will count for everything..

 

[The Bomb]

I hope Daniher rips the comp apart just so we don't have to worry about where Hurley and Carlisle play.
It is all up to you Joe.

Would love to see Danihers diet over summer #demgains

Incorrect. That's Carlisle, Hurley, Pears and Hooker in defence

Yeah for suer. 201cm and 94kg, it says on the club site. At the start of next season, i want him to be somewhere around 205cm and 100kg!

 

[Ben the Gooner]

McBean taken Majak's title as the best player to have never played an AFL game?

Shane Kersten, surely.

Geez, quite demanding to get him to somehow control his height.. unless we have a secret, new supplement for it?

I know I'd love to grow just 1 more cm to be an even 180cms, but no amount of stretching or hanging on my legs has worked so far!

Big Joe already has a monster frame, any extra growth left in him is just a bonus!

 

[Bark Maguley]

How about we stop ******* around with the forward line and just play our natural forwards forward and our natural backs back?

We just de-listed our natural forward......

 

[Zach Package]

Joe just needs to strengthen his core, the growth will come naturally as he matures.

It's not like Gregory or Gleeson who are grossly underweight for AFL footballers
