My first thought, he offers more value as a Riewoldt to Fraser Gehrig, than as a Fraser Gehrig.
Buddy flew under the radar to a certain extent til '08, and thereafter hasn't got close to it again. Daniher's name alone is ensuring there's not even a radar to fly under, and he'll be wearing extra defensive attention soon, if he's not already. I doubt very much he'll ever get over 80, let alone the ton...
If he's not already? Lol, he's been wearing it since he was 20. We've had no one else to wear it.

He's more versatile than buddy so he's harder to double team, Can play FF CHF Ruck and on a wing, His marking also sets him apart from Buddy.
I don't think you can fully stop him, He will always generate the shots whether its 3 or 10.
He will have 30+ shots at goal in a month one year and if he's accurate that will be the year he goes close to 100.
Being a bombers supporter I'm biased and love Joey, fave player in this team.
Can he bag 100? Possibly. Like someone said earlier, I think Kennedy, Franklin and Lynch deserve consideration too.

One thing Joey could learn from Buddy is to hold his ground better. Buddy rarely gets physically beaten which enables him to continue playing his own brand of footy.

Agree, But Joe is still a little bit away from his strongest self, Couple more Pre seasons, He's getting stronger in the core every year so I expect that to continue to improve.
The overrating of him in this thread by Essendon supporters is hilarious

Formerly "Dos23"
And no doubt you'll be quoting the bloke saying he spent less then 10?
17% sounds very low but there you go.
I was off with my estimation.

He said under 10%, one said 25% and I said 30%.
The difference between him and me to the mark is 5%, though since he said very lucky to be 10% he obviously thought he spent much less.
So yeah, closer but barely.
It's still a considerable amount of time to spend in a 2nd position.
To exemplify this, Joe has 11 rebound 50s for the year which is more than the next five Coleman Medal chances combined. He pushes further up the ground than just about any key forward bar Riewoldt, spends almost a 1/5th of his game time playing as an on-baller and is still leading the Coleman.
I always thought Daniher was a complete spud and will amount to nothing. Overrated vicco trash.
But seeing him on top of the goal kicking means I may have to rethink it. Let's be fair tho and admit it's a very low top goal scorer again this year. Not even close to 100 goals.
If he does it again for the next couple of years I will have no choice but to come to the party.
Until then, my verdict is out on whether he is even any good, let alone capable of kicking 100 goals.

What is "lol" worthy about what I said? You never heard of players having 1 ok season and then doing nothing for the rest of their careers? Let's wait til he does ok for a couple of seasons at least before calling him the GOAT.

Probably that you don't even rate him as a good player. Shows either really shit judgement or ridiculous high standards that would leave the majority of the league in complete shittruck status.
If he turns out to be shit does that mean I have really good judgment or will that just be forgotten? One season does not a player make... and it's only just an ok season, he's averaging 2.9 goals a game . I would think any club would expect around that sort of out put from their main target. He needs to that every year for the next 10 to just be the main big man for any club.
There's 11 players this year between 41 and 53 goals and most of them are key position forwards like Daniher. He's not special. He's just doing his job and people at carrying on like he's a star.
Like I said let's see if he does it consistently or improves.

He's leading those players. He is a star. You're just blind to the fact.
So if he wasn't leading those players by 1 or 2 goals he wouldn't be a star? We have very differing views on what a star is. 53 goals for a key forward is not a star imho.
All I'm saying is he needs to do AT LEAST what he has done this year for another year or two before he is a GOOD player. He still wouldn't be a star then even, but he would be a decent player.
Doing it for one year is a good start, but carrying on like he's a star now is dumb imo. But if you can't see my point then I guess you are the one with the blinkers on.

If Daniher is leading the Coleman whilst putting in consistent match winning performances but not a star, what does that make Taylor Walker? A footsoldier?

If you call kicking 73 goals as a 20 year old in 2007 "flying under the radar"...

So by your standards Taylor Walker is only okay and not the main big man at the Crows (leaving Adelaide with none?) as he's only averaged 2.9 or more goals in one season.
Taylor walker has had an ordinary season as a key forward imo. He should be kicking 70 plus I think. But We are lucky we have betts and Jenkins to spread the load.
I did notice when checking the stats just now that Essendon have fantasia who is helping a lot as well.
Honestly I have nothing against Essendon and if I thought Daniher was a star I would say so, I just don't see it.
I think the whole Essendon team is playing very good team orientated footy at the moment and Daniher is the main recipient of that.
I would like to be able to come back to this conversation in 2 years from now and see if either of our opinions have changed, cos I really don't see Daniher kicking 60+ goals for the next 2 years. But if he does I would be fully willing to admit I was wrong about him and assume if he fails to meet that target you would agree that calling him a star now was a tad premature?
As above.
EDIT: nobody here has said he's GOAT? You need to calm down mate.
