At first I rolled my eyes - I was never a huge fan of Joe, way too goofy for my liking.

But if he didn't cost much (picks wise), despite being a year retired and one of the more unreliable players even at his best he would still be better than what we have now. If it meant JVR could stay forward while Daniher pinch hits in the ruck and he takes the oppositions best defender while playing forward leaving JVR, Fritsch, Melksham (?) space to work it would be worth a stab.

We don't need a superstar KPF, we need a solid, big body that can take a mark and play backup to Gawn. If Daniher could be got for basically nothing then it's worth a shot, not like our list is bursting at the seams. There's about a quarter of the list we could cut tomorrow to free up a spot and no-one would notice.

Where I've landed pretty much.

The key is daniher would take the oppos best, and likely biggest, defender, giving JVR a bit of a chop out.

I love Joe’s goofiness! And he has great taste in music (don’t let the Frozen song fool you). But his head is too small for his body; I find it very distracting. I coped with this for one or two matches a year when we played them, not sure I could cope with it for every match of the season 😂😂😂

Yeah we need a few more behinds

If he was ever thinking about a comeback,it would be a team in a grandfinal hope,not a struggling bottom 4 side

I am hoping this is a 'muddy-the-waters while we really target someone else' story and not a 'we will take anyone with a pulse' story

I wonder how Tom Hawkins is enjoying retirement. Surely worth asking the question.

Come on, now. Hawkins is 38 years old next year and well past AFL footy.

That is older than I thought. Still, he is about the same age as Pendlebury, Boak, Dangerfield and Taylor Walker – and they are all still going ok.

If you take out last year when he was injured, he has averaged 50 goals a year for more than 10 years. Very consistent.

It’s never going to happen, but I don’t think the idea is quite as outrageous as you suggest.

Funny thread, I rekcon Fagan is on the money.

The Denver Nuggets were a better chance to get Dennis Rodman out of retirement back in the day.

Surely this is a knock knock joke.

Knock Knock

Whos there,

.................

I think we may have to break in the front door.

Since BB retired no fast leading big target.

Imagine leaving Byron Bay to play for a rabble.

Stay where you are Joey and enjoy retirement.
