Daniher: 100 games, 181 goals (1.81 goals per game)
McKernan and Stewart combined: 107 games, 105 goals (~goal a game)
A fit Daniher scores roughly twice as many goals as McKernan and Stewart combined, on average. Hence, he is simply a higher priority to the team than either of those two guys.
And can we seriously stop with the “we play better without him” bullshit. If you really think that you either have a very short memory or just don’t have a clue about football. Joe is a star and this is bad news. Fingers crossed he gets up for Anzac day.
When you get a calf tear, it actually feels like someone kicked you in the back of the leg ( at the moment the injury occurs). Immediately after that, you virtually cannot walk. Like you are anchored to the spot. It is extremely painful.
I experienced that in the first 5 minutes of a grand final due to lack of a proper warm up. I was ■■■■■■ with that as I sat on the sidelines.
