The enigmatic Lions forward can dazzle and disappoint in the same passage of play but saves his best for crunch moments and matches
Goalkicking woes have plagued Brisbane this season but Joe Daniher nailed a pair of critical set shots in the dying stages of the semi-final against GWS Giants.Goalkicking woes have plagued Brisbane this season but Joe Daniher nailed a pair of critical set shots in the dying stages of the semi-final against GWS Giants.t face value, Joe Daniher is straight off the footballing peg. He’s 201cm, an excellent mark, a thumping kick and moves like a gazelle.
The football world has never quite known what to make of him. There’s a cottage industry of former champion forwards in the media who have always marked him harshly. He doesn’t fit the bill. He’s too casual. He doesn’t seem to care enough. And he doesn’t give them anything. Only a certain type of coach could handle a player like that. “You need to say to someone like him, ‘Joe. We’ll wear your odd mistake,’” Leigh Matthews said on Footy Furnace several weeks ago. “‘You’ll make a bad decision every now and then.’ Because he’s an instinctive player. I heard people critiquing the coach saying, ‘he hasn’t been coached hard enough.’ But if Joe gets scared of making mistakes, and if we keep talking about what he’s not good at, he’ll lose confidence in himself.
