I just laugh that * couldn't keep a Daniher on their list and then didn't trade him when they had a great offer because they thought that they could turn him around and then lost him for less the next year.
Well played Bombers, well played.

… and then botched their compensation picks.
Have a good weekend Mr Walker

What's the connection to Sydney?
But also, pretty low I'd expect. Doesn't seem the type to do this just to end up in Sydney.
He lives down Byron Bay way, was already doing a lot of k’s to the club and back.
He’s not going to go to Sydney in a million years

Yep, good on him. Joe eventually became likeable after he left *.
He’s been commuting from NSW for a while now to get to training. His partner is from there and works there, hence why he wanted to be traded to Sydney a year before he ended up at the Lions.
Not to mention rules and stuff

Really liked Joe, he’s a really good player and I thought he was great when he went in the ruck.

I know who would be a wonderful replacement for Joe at the Lions. But they would have to put their football before their brand, so it probably won’t happen.

I just can't fathom retiring in your prime after a flag.
Chance to try to win a 2nd or 3rd flag. Go down as a club great.
Not to mention leaving so much money on the table. Never going to be able to earn like this ever again.
Weird decision

Is it weird? He’s 30, he’s played 200 games and he’s now achieved the ultimate success.
Would think players like Steele Sidebottom might regret not going out on top like Selwood did.
He’s earned plenty of money (and invested very well from what I’d heard) so that doesn’t need to be a factor either.

Could easily play to 35
Why not have a crack for another 2 years and contend for another couple of flags. A chance to leave a real legacy at the club and on the game.
Could still go out at 32 or 33 in his prime.
You only get one career. Make the most of it.
Who do you think might regret it more when they are 60. Sidebottom regretting he went on a year too long?
Or Daniher wondering if he could have won another couple of flags and left a legacy?
Daniher, like us all, walks the earth once and has decided to do something else other than football, something which is more meaningful for him
What a luxury
Good luck and well done to him

Understand where your coming from, but he has been in the system for 12 or so years and would have been well paid for it and may have already set himself up for life. Apparently he is a bit of a different cat, no TV, no social media, sometimes the simple things in life we take for granted. Some guys love to stay in the spotlight, others just take a different turn.
Brave move, but good luck to him.
* Isn't it funny, couldn't stand him in an * jumper, now I think he's a decent bloke
even though I'm sure he always has been

Yeah get what you're saying. I just can't fathom it, when you have on opportunity not many other people ever get.
Anyway, good luck to him if that's what he wants.

He’s retiring at 30, that to me is the opportunity not many ever get.
It was reported today that he told people he would have retired last year if they won.
I’m not sure if he has kids or not but I can imagine footballers who play outside of Victoria miss a lot of family so who knows if it plays a part.
Their forward line all of a sudden loses a huge focal point, it’s great for the rest of the comp.

Pretty sure Joe has given this a lot of thought. Must believe that he has enough money and travelling from Byron Bay up to
Brissie all the time would be very taxing. He is doing it his way, more power to him.

The flip side to that (and I suspect you'll see this more and more) is that he's retiring while healthy.
With the way concussions can easily happen in our game, I'll never begrudge anyone that thinks they've got what they needed to out of the game and no longer wish to put themselves in a position that could ruin the rest of their life.
Does anyone else find it ridiculous that clubs count things like Q Clash medals, Ross Glendenning medals, showdown medals or even Anzac medals when they list a players accomplishments?
All of those games are worth 4 points so what makes them so different.
Lets start awarding the Rhys Palmer medal to the BOG in Carlton v GWS games.
