RANKING THE TOP 10 RUCKMEN IN THE AFL
9. Joe Daniher
The injury-stricken Daniher finally got up and running in 2021, having missed a few games in years gone by. Standing tall at 201cm, Daniher moves incredibly well for a player of his size and can play almost as a rover at times, allowing him to score some dynamic and eye-catching goals.
Daniher was the only player in the 2021 season to score a goal in every round of the season, booting 46 goals for the year.
His slightly underwhelming average of 1.9 goals a game doesn’t tell the full story, as he remains one of the league’s most impactful and deadly forwards when fully fit.
