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

[FlyHigh18]

I can think of 20 other forwards I would trust with the ball over Daniher. In fact I would trust most of the Essendon team to kick a goal before this forward flop.

But that's ok because he'll have 3 great games this year and they'll start calling him "elite" again lol, marketing at it's best

 

[Heisenberg_]

Lynch will kick 100 for Richmond next year

We get it, you're mad that Brown didn't get AA.
Daniher is an absolute gun. Creates so many goals even if he doesn't kick them and is an excitement machine.
He's just out of form, most players endure it at some stage in their career. He was a good kick for goal most of last year.

 

[Foxx]

Shame and waste. Spine angle is straight and body weight gets forward on running kicks and long set shots. Leans back on shorter kicks. Everything out of control then. Balance, ball drop, power, everything.

no mate: forwards like kennedy, buddy, cameron, roughy etc are forward "guns". His one great year does not make a gun

Daniher is a very, very good player, and a gun when "on", dunno if I'd say he's an absolute gun just yet.

Certainly creates lots of opportunities for your smaller forwards, and yep, he's very exciting in full flights.

Out of form, possibly, probably.

And was a good kick for a period of one year. Has been a bad kick for all of the rest of the years of his career. If he can remedy that, he'll be the absolute gun you talked about.

Richo was an absolute gun, and he was a poor set shot.

Cameron is a gun, but Daniher isn't?

 

[Milanista28]

The talk around Joey's kicking makes me laugh. People obviously don't watch him enough, I'm more than comfortable with his ability in front of the big sticks.

 

[MaddAdam]

Richo was an absolute gun, and he was a poor set shot.

And that's why Richo never kicked 100 either.

 

[FlyHigh18]

Cameron is a gun, but Daniher isn't?

That's my opinion, you don't have to agree with it. I would give the ball to fantasia over Daniher any day of the week. How you guys consider him to be your best forward just dumbfounds me

 

[calyam]

That analysis was taken over a short period of one year. Daniher's goal kicking issues have been around for years - pretty much as long as he has.

In fact, there's a compelling argument thatlast year was the exception, rather than the rule.

Good point but already addressed in the analysis. Based on his kicking last season there is a 22% chance that he is really just a trash goalkicker who merely got lucky. So no there is not a compelling argument that last year was an exception, rather than the rule. On a statistical note, the sample size is also large enough to draw reasonable conclusions. Daniher is, quite simply, a more accurate goalkicker than he is given credit for. But like almost every goalkicker he goes through periods of high / low accuracy.

 

[Donakebab]

Completely out of form and still kicked 2 goals a game 3 out of 4 this season, but he's started to show a bit more the last two weeks, was really starting to get on his bike again against Port, just needs to keep getting involved and the rest of his game will flow on naturally. Still draws major attention from defenders allowing Stewart to flourish.

You mean our CHF who kicked 65 goals and was named AA? That guy?

 

[Tulip]

Cameron is a gun, but Daniher isn't?

Cameron's played 19 more games but has kicked 116 more goals. Would say Joey isn't quite at the level yet, though he was closing fast before his indifferent start to this season.

Wow.... that stat really shuts the book on this. Seriously.

 

[MaddAdam]

I have managed to go this entire thread without trolling Essendon or Daniher, resisting the urge to write something about how he's a massively overrated horse faced chode gifted games on the grounds of surname, or something similar, because it isn't true (apart from him being horrifically ugly), he's actually a really, really good player.

But the Bombers fans are picking stats apart to try and prove he's not a poor shot for goal overall (when he actually takes shots and doesn't stuff by dishing it off etc) and then trying to claim he's in the same league as a Jezza Cameron.

But yes, here endeth the discussion. And Cameron is a significantly better kick for goal too.

 

[Brunswick Trap King]

I'm a little shocked to be reading that people believe Daniher is a better kick for goal than Kennedy.

 

[Pykie]

Brown and Kennedy are the best chances.

Both accurate kicks for goal.

Brown has kicked 49 goals in his last 12 games, that's since it seemed to "click" mid season last year and he's just been completely dominant (excluding the swimming pool game).

This year, he's averaging 13 disposals, 5.5 marks, 5.1 goals, 126 SC points without that swimming pool game.

 

[QuietB]

Cameron is a gun, but Daniher isn't?

I'd say Cameron is equally overrated.

I would actually take Brown over both of them.

 

[JackFlash]

Brown is the better player on half the $....

 

[eth-dog]

Brown is the better player on half the $....

As shown by him never kicking more goals than Daniher in a season, ever.

 

[QuietB]

As shown by him never kicking more goals than Daniher in a season, ever.

One averages 2 goals a game - the other doesn't

 

[Pykie]

As shown by him never kicking more goals than Daniher in a season, ever.

He finished third in the Coleman last year and it wasn't to Danniher.


Brown is an outside chance to kick 100 goals in 22 games this year.

Kicked 49 in the last 13.

Needs to average 5.5 goals a game for the first half of the year to kick it across 22 games across 2 seasons.

He's averaging 5 goals a game this year.

 

[Ambrosia]

He's averaging 5 goals a game this year.

No he's not.
