Daniher was a mid-sized, mobile defender originally from TAC Cup club Calder Cannons. He retired from professional football in August 2011 due to injury.[1][2]

Draft

Daniher was recruited from Calder Cannons in the 2007 National Draft. He was selected by the Essendon Football Club with its third round selection (39th overall) as a father-son recruit in recognition of his father, Anthony Daniher, who played 118 games for Essendon. Prior to the 2007 National Draft, the Sydney, Geelong and North Melbourne Football Clubs had shown interest in recruiting him.[citation needed]

AFL career

Daniher made his AFL debut on 4 May 2008 against Port Adelaide at the Telstra Dome (now known as Etihad Stadium) and played in the next two games before an injury ended his season. He played three games in 2009 before being injured again. Daniher retired from professional football in August 2011 due to ongoing groin problems.[citation needed]
