Geelong is the latest club to show interest in signing restricted free agent Joe Daniher, according to The Age’s Jake Niall.
The Cats have joined Brisbane in flagging their interest in signing the Essendon forward, who has recently made his return to AFL action after a long-term groin injury.
The report states that Daniher, 26, remains undecided about where he future lies beyond this season, with Geelong reportedly possessing the ability to free up enough salary cap room to pull off the sensational swoop.
Daniher isn’t the only free agent Chris Scott’s side has expressed interest in, as Geelong also weigh up moves for Adelaide on-baller Brad Crouch and Melbourne midfielder Jack Viney.
If successful in their pursuit, Daniher would link up with current Coleman Medal leader Tom Hawkins in what would be one of the competition’s most potent forward duos.
Daniher made a triumphant return to footy late last month, booting three goals in Essendon’s win over Hawthorn.
The star forward requested a trade to Sydney at the end of the 2019 season but Essendon held firm and opted to hold him to the final year of his contract.
