Joe Daniher: The challenge of pushing through injury • Joe Daniher comes from an impressive AFL pedigree. His father, Anthony, played 115 games for the Sydney Swans and 118 for Essendon and his uncles Terry, Neal, and Chris also played for Essendon in the AFL. • “Growing up, I was acutely aware of the role that my dad and uncles played in AFL,” Joe says. “That sparked my interest in the game from an early age. But it wasn't until I was in my late teens that the opportunity to play AFL as a career presented itself. It was something I was very excited about, and I started to put my energy into it.” • While understanding the big roles that his father and uncles had played in AFL, Joe says he felt it was like a fresh start for him. • “I was obviously very proud of what they were able to achieve in their careers. But, for me, it was just about going in and doing the job as well as I could and competing as hard as I could. That’s something I've held right throughout my career. I am very proud of what they achieved, and I was hoping to achieve similar,” he says. • Essendon offered support from family and friends • With his father having played for both the Swans and Essendon, Joe explains what tipped his choice towards the Bombers. “I was very fortunate to have the opportunity to choose between the Sydney Swans and Essendon, given that dad played for both great football clubs. • “I was living in Melbourne at the time, surrounded by my family, and the most appropriate decision was for me to play AFL while having the support of my friends and family. Coming out of high school and starting a professional career is challenging, and I felt it was important to have that family support around me,” he adds. • Joe’s first four years in AFL with Essendon were extremely successful. He was the club’s leading goalkicker for four straight seasons and won a number of awards and medals. However, his 2018 AFL season started poorly, averaging less than a goal a game and having less of an impact on the oval. • Read more about Joe's story: https://www.youi.com.au/youi-news/sto... • Watch more from this series: • CAL AH CHEE CHARLIE CAMERON: • Youi x NRL Stories of Change: Ben Cum... • CONOR MCKENNA: • Youi x NRL Stories of Change: Ben Cum... • SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/@Youi_Insuran... • Facebook: / youinstagram: https://www.instagram.com/youi_insura... • • At Youi, we take the time to listen.
