Remember the big debate about who was the better prospect  -  Jesse Hogan vs Joe Daniher?   Such awesome young exciting big forwards and theyve both gone down the drain.

    Well given the way Victoria / Melbourne is going with Covid he could play for us and still be located out of Melbourne.

    I certainly think he his worth looking at but hey anyone with talent needs to be looked at.

    Didn’t he want to leave melb the city bubble and why he was trying to get to the swans. 

    Was only the public narrative.  There's apparently a fracturing between Daniher and the fitness dept and a bit of a blame game being played over the management (or otherwise) of his injury. JD has reportedly moved out of Melbourne & commutes in from the country, so maybe a little in the 'getting out of the limelight' angle, but still manageable. I don't think Sydney is really an option anymore given the number of injured tall forwards they already have.

    I can understand the folks that don't want him, I'm all for asking the question. When fit (the crucial element for mine), Daniher's numbers are comparable with gun key forwards in his peer group (Lynch, Cameron, Hogan) and we desperately need a quality key forward. Our forward line is bereft at the moment. It would have been great to have kept pick 6 & selected Ben King in '18, but the list is what it is at this point.

    His fitness issues are where we could.offer a strong point of difference, particularly if Bennell settles in and performs without setbacks  over the course of the season. If Burgess thinks Daniher's injury issue are recoverable, then it'd be irresponsible not to investigate. Burgess probably would be critical in the recruitment process tbh. Another selling point would be the number of familiar faces currently at the club (although none are probably all that popular with the fan base rn).

    The other player i'd try and hit up from the Don's at the moment is Saad. There's some back and forth around the contract discussions and would absolutely fill a need for us.  If we were able to add those two and integrate into the line up, we would have a very different look and arguably be much better equipped to play the style Goody wants to employ.

    If only we could develop our own talent, we wouldn’t have to consider Daniher.

    Develop and keep.

    I'm very concerned about what is happening with our development of young talent at the moment.

    Petracca aside, a lot of players have stagnated.

    great journalism. whoever wrote that headline should be sacked, but will probably win an award.

    Or they'll take credit as giving Melbourne the idea if they do it.

    Anyway my opinion FWIW if Burgess feels he can get him out on the park, fit and firing, then I'd be up for it. We lack tall marking options up forward (or at least we aren't playing any ?) and on his day he murdered teams, we were one of them unfortunately. Plus it'll be kinda nice to have a Daniher in the Red and Blue for Neale to support.

    All this is predicated on the idea that firstly Burgess is able to get him right, and secondly that he'd even want to come to our rabble of a club.

    Weid is lucky to get picked on the bench in the two's and posters on Demonland are seriously suggesting we shouldn't consider Daniher?

    I’d put all my money and trade initiative in more outside run and skill. Isn’t Josh Kelly coming out of contract? The GWS were going to have more salary cap issues right? 
     

    What other Talent is out there ? Swap Gaff for Brayshaw ?

    Kelly is OOC end of 2021 but his contract has some odd trigger clause that could extend it by 5 or 6 years or something.

    Fair enough. I genuinely think that the problem is midfield and game plan not the talent in forward 50.

    Matthew Egan - Head of Development

    Max Rooke - Development coach

    These two have been around for several years now with not much to show for it

    How is this so when you think back to how good he was in both finals, not only taking marks and kicking straight, he had second efforts chasing and tackling, can't loose that talent overnight. I really think his got in Goodwins bad books for some reason?

    Remember all those articles 4-5 years ago wondering if Daniher, Hogan, Boyd or Patton would be the best gun 600 goal forward??

    wow, time has not been kind. 

    3 years injured for a 200cm bloke?  unlikely he can come back in any real way. as much as I hate the bombers I feel for Joe.

    Not that it would be like the Bombers to run their business shiftily, but do we start to theorise about this...?

    Essendon are a horrible club to deal with when it comes to trades. They would want the earth.

    Yep.  You can just see it now - Bombers asking for at least a first rounder for a bloke who can't get on the park.

    If he came for a fair price you might consider the risk involved, although their idea of a fair price would be vastly different to everyone else.

    Edit - although I believe he is a free agent, or at least a restricted one, at the end of the year so you wouldn't have to deal with Essendon.

    There's a contract embargo on all AFL players and coaches so...  How about we make GF, Indiana, an offer she can't refuse !?....

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
