It should’t be unrealistic for us to expect him to kick a goal from 15 metres out directly in front though.

I would have thought commanding a position somewhere in the goal square preferably in front of his opponent as Tippa is walking in is a better option than 4 metres away on the fence.
Joe Daniher does a dumb thing?
I’m shocked! SHOCKED I tells ya
Thankfully you’re not…

If you’re talking 1996, the kick went through for a goal.
Salmon also fell over in the nineties (without doing his ACL, thankfully) but still made it from fifty.

Id want JD or a ruckman on the goal line for a player taking a long setshot for goal. Which is exactly what we had with JD.
Walla marked 35m out directly in front.
The only thing remarkable is how joe took a breather whilst Walla was preparing his shot.
Everything else is completely unremarkable. And thank god Joes given us something to laugh about for the week.
Sorry, but I think your an overreactive peanut or fox footy commentator if you think otherwise. But hey every bum, including this one is entitled to an opinion.

You know what also wins flags?
SIX FOOT EIGHT BLOKES TAKING HANGERS AND SMASHING INTO DEFENDERS.
Steve Hocking was undisciplined and brilliant. He won three flags.
Jason Akermanis was undisciplined and brilliant. He won three flags doing handstands in the goal square.
Our team will kick a lot more goals if we are relaxed and enjoying our footy in the forward line. The rest of the team can do the boring systematic stuff.

Joe does Joe, end of story!
Joe is not Breust, who never misses. He is not Buddy either, but their goal kicking accuracy figures are almost identical: 58% ±1
We have to accept that we need to get it to him 6 times for him to have a chance of kicking a bag.
Given 6 opportunities, some weeks he will kick 4-5, some weeks 1-2

It’s also no surprise that our other forwards are getting looks at goal now as well, Joe creates just by being out there, Tippa doesn’t kick 6 goals over the last 2 weeks without Joe and Hooker.

Kicking straight also wins flags.

We really have to look at our capacity for contested marking and factor this into our game plan.
If we do not have the cattle to take these marks, Hurley ( and others) have to stop those kicks down the line. We need to change the way we come out of defence. We need to get the ball to Ridley and McKenna for kicks and Saad and McKenna to run it out.
We have to work the fat side more, where we have good runners out there.
Then we can look for Joe around the arc. Because we do not want to have him playing too high up the ground, trying to mark Hurls loopy kicks down the line, which are so predictable and so telegraphed.

Not sure he even won 1 flag, did he?

yep, it’s not exactly a surprise that Walla finds himself in more dangerous positions now that he isn’t having the ball kicked 1m over his head to the advantage of the 2 defenders scragging him.
If he wasn’t returning from injury I’d have given Cahill another run as that specialist crumbing forward. He, Walla and Mozzie should all complement the way each other play up forward, with all 3 of them having slightly different MOs

Whilst chugging a beer he had stashed behind the fence!

Joe was just sending everyone a message about his future…
He’s on the fence

My attitude towards Joe Daniher is as erratic as his goal kicking!
Oops! Johnson.
