    I don't see a lot of value in him. What's your thoughts?

    Joe Daniher has retired.
    96 games with Brisbane

    Well done on him for going out a high.

    He can now catchup with his ex-Essendon colleagues and tell them all about the finals he played and the GF he won.

    The fact that he turned his back on massive money tells you a lot. He could have just fronted up half-arsed, feigned lingering soreness and whatnot and collected the cheque.

    For some there’s more to life than money. He got what he desired from a football career. A premiership.
    With Neale’s MND, he would see this disease first hand and who knows, he may have the mindset that's there’s more to life than football. He seems like a great, down to earth, humble guy, and I always enjoyed watching him play.
    I will never see #16 the same!!

    Re: Delistings and retirements 2024

    Having cut Ryp after AOD retired. If we wanted mature free replacements there’s two currently:

    McHenry: 70 Games, 32.19, nearly 3 tackles a game - sounds like a non scoreboard small like we have
    Taylor: 76 Games, 33.23, nearly 2 tackles a game - ditto

    Not sure there’s scoreboard impact here. However if VDM or McNeil moved to say the HBF, then perhaps there’s a replacement


    Plus Konstanty at the Swans who was taken just ahead of Clarke. A trade though.
