#6 Joe Daniher - wants out of Tulla on the full

Its bad for us but spare a thought for Joe. Its a personal disaster career wise and will stress him emotionally.

Klawdy · May 23, 2019, 1:15am

Agreed. It’s a tough break snapping your wrist when squeezing the water bottle.

Lance84 · May 23, 2019, 1:15am

Yep. The bloke loves playing footy so much. Hopefully he’s in an ok head space.

Anyone have realistic odds of the surgery succeeding?

Lance84 · May 23, 2019, 1:17am

Haha, i mean impact injuries are unlucky. Repetitive soft tissue issues are an “injury prone” thing.

Hurley_s_left_boot · May 23, 2019, 1:17am

Pretty hard to be excited about anything Essendon these days. This is a tough one to swallow. 2 years out in what should be his prime years. Heads need to roll over this.

chris_64 · May 23, 2019, 1:18am

Looks like Francis has become a very important player for us. Forward or Back?
I say forward. We are overloaded with defenders.

Klawdy · May 23, 2019, 1:18am

Yeah I got that. Just my poor attempt at humour again.

Milanista28 · May 23, 2019, 1:19am

Parallels with Jimmy in 99… We gonna lose a prelim this year and a flag next.

efc1robbo · May 23, 2019, 1:20am

Rest of the year!?!? What a joke

the Football department and medical department is an absolute joke

Hurleys_Taxi_Driver · May 23, 2019, 1:20am

This goes beyond Daniher. Fantasia, Smith, Laverde all mismanaged as well. The club must do a brutal and honest review of the conditioning staff. Now, not at seasons end. Justin Crow must be moved on.

The_Firing_Line · May 23, 2019, 1:21am

Bring Back The Weapon!!!

Humble_NSW_Fan · May 23, 2019, 1:22am

This year is a disaster.

Bomber-A · May 23, 2019, 1:22am

Good challenge for the team now.

Get Fantasia back after the bye and give it a crack.

Bully · May 23, 2019, 1:22am

One of the more overused terms in footy. How is Joe a once in a generation player? I could give you 5 other tall forwards in the comp better than him today, are they all ‘once in a generation players’ too?

IceTemple · May 23, 2019, 1:23am

Like others the assumptions and blame being made are ridiculous.

Your_Team · May 23, 2019, 1:24am

I agree.

Mitch Brown and McKernan are decent players, but are both on the back end of 28 and average under a goal a game. The can come in and play their roles but if we are looking toward the future we need to start developing some other talent in the forward line as a contingency for Joe/Orazio.

Give Francis the rest of the year there.

frosty · May 23, 2019, 1:24am

Season done.

FFS.

I miss Joe already.

premature_rookie_ele · May 23, 2019, 1:24am

good call by you, well done. take the rest of the day off.

frosty · May 23, 2019, 1:25am

No you couldn’t. Not at his best.

Don’t give me Time Lynch. That guy is a complete spud compared to Joe.
