I understand his kicking woes but I love Joe.

Huge talent and a quality person.

Would absolutely love to see him in a Dees jumper.

Goal kicking woes. His field kicking is otherwise elite. Long, low, quick and finding targets.

    What will another injury do to that?

    The same reason the tigers spent big on Lynch when they already had Riewoldt - 2 gun tall forwards are better than 1. If Daniher was available, he'd be replacing TMac, not Weideman.

    Injuries are a concern, but it's not as though he's coming back from his third ACL - plenty of players have successfully returned after missing long stints with OP.

    He'd be expensive, he'd be a risk and we'd need to deal with Essendon at the trade table. All are very good reasons to walk away, but I still think it'd be worth asking the question.

    Tbf many commenters were discussing Daniher after our WCE loss when Jackson did not look anywhere near ready and Tmac was in the side and not Weid for the first 5 or so matches. 

    Our forward line looks much better now with Weid kicking 2 goals a game and Jackson settling into his role. 

    Still would be nice to add another capable forward. If not Daniher, then someone like a Matt Taberner, who's having a great year with Freo.

    Anyone with any sense won't come to our club unless they get the enticing deal like a few others got. I'll take anyone at the moment, how can we be picky.

    I rate Jackson, and he's certainly shown some nice signs, but realistically I think he's probably at least 3 years away from providing more than the odd cameo up forward. In any case, one of his biggest strengths is his versatility - I don't think it'd be a problem playing Jackson, Daniher, Weideman and Gawn in the same team (on the rare occasions all of them were fit). West Coast manage to play all of NicNat, Darling, Kennedy and Allen.

    It's probably a moot point anyway - we're better set for key position players than most teams, and others will no doubt pay a higher price.

    It would be super fun to have Daniher grabbing marks and turning round and delivering scything daisy cutter incendiary kicks to Weidemen.

    I’m a fan of us going after Daniher, I think him and Weid would make a potent combo of forwards but do we have the coin available to get him? 

  • Quote

    It depends on three things for me:

    1) do our medical staff think his body's stuffed or do they believe his body will hold up?

    2) the cost in money terms and years of contract.

    3) whether he'd even come to Melbourne. I have a feeling we'd be a better proposition than Sydney...

    Doesn't quite align for me. The 3 M's scare me. Money, medical history, metallity. Unless we shipped T-mac off somewhere, I'd prefer to focus on getting him right to be honest.

    Dont get lets just stick with 2 quality forwards.

    Last week we were worried 3 of our ruck options were out.

    Injuries are a huge factor in the moden game and its smart to be able to cover them.

    Yeah, I think it's all about our medical staff tbh.  We could juggle things to afford him, given the number of players off contract for us.

    If Burgess is comfortable, then we move forward.  I agree with earlier posts that Jacko will take some time to be consistently impactful, and by then he'll be increasing his time in the ruck/on ball division. Weid is stil maturing and could use a mature no.1 key forward alongside him. Sadly looks like Tommy Mc can't be that player.

    There's a fair amount of talk that Daniher's injury has been managed poorly (by both medical staff & player), and that has caused the frustration between Joe & Essendon. Makes Burgess a significant selling point. Not sure how much of a selling point they are, but if he has positive relationships with the Essendon connections currently at the club, that could be beneficial as he'd at least have some familiar faces already here. Maybe we could get Neale in his ear as well.  Would be kind of neat to have a Daniher on field at the next Big Freeze.

    It makes too much sense for me, especially if we miss on Williams, may as well address another area of need. Our list profile should have us in the window, we may as well swing for it.

    Don't be surprised to see Brisbane swoop in. Perfect fit for Daniher and have the right medical team behind them.

    Makes a whole lot of sense for Brisbane too. There’s chatter around them going for Dixon as well, so very keen to get a big key forward in. They’re swinging for the fences too!

    There is nothing in the AFL like Daniher at his best IMO. There is obviously a good chance he gets injured. And he is inconsistent. But I like the idea of him playing for us because he doesn’t need great delivery. If he finishes the year fit, it’s worth the risk.

    11 games in 3 years.

    Simply irresponsible to sign him to a long term high dollar contract even as an FA when his record shows long periods of unavailability. And he is a Restricted Free Agent  so Bombers can match a responsible contract offer.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.
