Ok so I admit I have watched this a few times because its a great rebound goal and shows how well we can move the ball 

BUT

The more I watched the more I started laughing at Joe Daniher and his defensive efforts - just focus on big Joey - really good effort !  

Absolute Gold, he is such an overrated player. Dons aren't missing him

Wow, you're not wrong. That's awful stuff.  You'd be disappointed to see that from a young tall forward starved all day in a team being thrashed late in the season, not an alleged gun in top team when the game is on the line against a likely finals opponent.

I know - 10 mins to go, game up for grabs, 7 points down 

If I was Fagan I'd be fuming - so glad he doesn't wear a Melbourne jumper - really deflating for his team mates to see that

??that was horrendous from Joey

That is maybe 3 embarrassing efforts in 5 seconds.

Disgraceful for a professional sportsman.

Don't know how we escaped those bone crunching tackles.

Thanks! My god. The pressure of a country-footballer who’s team is down by 130 points.

Here's one from 2 minutes earlier 

Wow, that’s absolutely disgraceful from Daniher. Some of the weakest efforts you could possibly imagine. 

Also great goal from TMac, Trac wasn’t is a much better position and Tommy’s in form. Let it ride!

Each of the 3 efforts are more half arsed than the one before. 

Zorko’s efforts when Tom Sparrow kicked his goal was awful too but at least Zorko had been running all night.

I watched the second half yesterday and remembered Georges comments on the podcast about zorko's non effort. Woeful. Gifted the goal.

Sure, it's the end of the game but he is the captain. Really bad look

Yes, surprised the Zorko effort hadn't been mentioned earlier.

I watched the replay 20 times and thought it must have been the viewing angle that made him look closer than he was. For a youngster like Sparrow to have time to drop the ball cold, wait for a teammate to hand it back to him before taking his time to slot the goal was surprising.

Playing devil's advocate here . . . poor Daniher looked a tad tired and aha-ahaha long live Darren Burgess. Though I sometimes wish Tomald or Gawn would put in those types of efforts at the contest and not gain possession. Maybe it's instructed?

Nah, the pimply doofus is just a spud defensively.

 

Saying otherwise would make me realise how much we will miss Burgess next year and that makes faulty sad......

I quite like that doofus, similar to my fondness for Fitzy and Frost. 

Faulty along with the rest of the supporters should put his/their efforts into keeping Burgo at the club, at almost any cost. 

I would support him working for almost the same remuneration for a few months over the pre-season with FIFO top-ups during the year, just to ensure he was ours and didn't defect to the Crows. We're already paying that cash. 

That's how important I think he is. It's so satisfying heading into last quarters knowing we will at least have the legs. On top of that, Burgess is a truly inspiring figure, like having a second coach. 

  

"Video of the Weak"?

How could we spend so much time sh## canning a pl;ayer from another club whose close relative is a legend here

Pretty pathetic and could bite...

If you think we're being critical, try talking to Essendon supporters about him. They are enraged by his defection and actively wish that he be badly injured!  

No doubt Joe has talent, but OMG he can be such an absolute buffoon.

I remember when he played for Essendon vs Melbourne April or May 2017 - we had an unexpected win and he kicked a huge bag of behinds and just carried on like a demented clown.

After that whenever there were calls for us to trade him in I thought, never forget that day.  And there have been others too.

Rise above the madding crowd, my Coach always said, and i kept on trying to take speccies ever since

Did it on the opposite wing too. Not to mention Petty looking like Usain Bolt in a race to the ball with him.
