Daisy had 5 I50's, a goal and a goal assist. Was far from the worst bloke out there.
Rewatch the last few minutes of the game. Tigers running the ball on the near side wing, tight to the boundary. I forget who it was but there was some carlton bloke jogging along behind him and the ball. Daisy comes flying past him to put the pressure on. Doesn't get a stat, but gives effort 100% of the time.
That's why he is in the side. To show the kids effort is unconditional.
Nobody is saying he is still a gun footballer. He is paid more than he should be, but that is not Daisys fault. Judge him on what he does on the ground, not his paycheque.
@Baggers...
VFL form doesn't translate to AFL form.
I'm talking effort at AFL level. All those players i've mentioned have put in terrible efforts at AFL level in terms of body language and effort.
Love the committed defense of Daisy there.
He strikes me as someone who is desperately trying to make up for his complete and utter lack of general AFL footballing ability by chasing hard.
At the end of the day it's time to move on from Daisy / White / Dennis.
