Don't know the amount of time he spends in which particular area of the ground but he gets 34% of his possessions behind the centre, compared to Brown and Franklin averaging 18 and 14 respectively.

A 100 goal season & Joe Daniher: is he overwhelmingly the most capable player of achieving it again?

I know its weird since the spew of thread about them recently but this board isn't just for Richmond circle jerks.

Yes. He can be unstoppable due to his size and his amazing marking ability. If he puts it all together and Essendon become a one-man forward line he has a good chance of achieving it.
That doesn't equate to 30% of game time in the ruck?
I watch essendon games every other week, I probably watch 4-5 games a week on average. Have you got any stats to back up your 30% claim or did you purely guess based on speculation?

I watch every game.
There is no way you watch him every other week if you don't believe he spends 30% of the time in the ruck.

Probably not no, but it does indicate he spends a lot more time up the ground than other forwards

like I was saying - he creates the chances. 10 shots at goal yesterday, despite spending a fair bit of time in the ruck. With the swagger and belief he has now, and the ability he has in the air and on the ground, he is close to unbeatable on his day
actually it was 11 shots on goal. One didn't make the distance..
So 11 shots.. 22 rounds + 4 finals... he could kick 286 goals next year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Show us a time in ruck stat to back it up, thanks.
Hahaa okay pal, so you're telling me your coach plays one of the best key forwards in the game in the ruck 30% of the time, knowing if he was playing up forward he'd more than likely be kicking more goals, just so he can ruck to get his measely 3.7 taps per game, which by your own admission he's not even good at? What sense does that make? It's apparent to anyone except the most delusional of essendon supporters that he's a key forward who pinch hits in the ruck, not a part time ruckmen.
Big Boner Brown is more likely to kick 100

Spends a third of the match in the ruck, averages less than 4 hit outs a game?

Change the thread name to "Joe Daniher - Terrible ruckman"
Some people just don't think before they speak
Why's it been opened? Has he done anything that actually reflects the question asked by the OP. He kicked six goals yesterday and leads the Coleman at this point in time. Is that reason to continue the shit-slinging between Essendon fans and the rest of the competition?

Show you a stat that isn't kept?
Hahaha. You know people are struggling when that's the best you got.
Yep. If only Bellchambers had a better tank.

So because opposition posts are having some bizzare meltdown we should close the thread? We really would have to close every Richmond thread.
He kicked 6 yesterday, he's 2 clear in the coleman despite spending 30% of the game in the ruck. That screams he is the most capable player, if he becomes a stay at home forward like Kennedy and Brown.
He kicks goals from the midfield too, so it's not exactly holding him back from scoring.
He's a special talent, an absolute star and an exciting player to watch. Pretty scary that he still has elements of his game that need fine tuning.
As for kicking 100 goals in a season? He may well in the future but I would suggest that Essendon will be a far better team if he doesn't reach that mark and they spread the scoring load.
That's only because you're not taking into account out of bounds on the full
