After getting through last nightโ€™s thrilling come-from-behind win against Hawthorn, Essendon star Joe Daniher may have dropped a hint on his future.

The forward told Fox Footy post-match that heโ€™s confident he can get through the rest of the 2020 season and will 'keep keep moving forward' with the Bombers.

โ€œI feel really good and Iโ€™ve got the training in, so Iโ€™ve been working hard and hopefully continue to play out this year and keep moving forward with this footy club,โ€ he said.

"The boysโ€™ support has been fantastic so I had to come out and help them tonight so it feels good.โ€

Daniher played a major role in his sideโ€™s incredible second-half fightback against Hawthorn, kicking three goals with 14 disposals and 10 marks after hardly seeing it in the first half.

โ€œIt was good to just get out here and blow the cobwebs out,โ€ he said.

โ€œI was pretty pathetic in the first half, along with the rest of our talls, but we got back into the game and managed to get the win.โ€

Essendon coach John Worsfold spoke glowingly of Daniherโ€™s first game since Round 9 last year, reminding everyone just how good of a player he really is.

โ€œI think everyone will be happy to see Joey back out there playing footy and enjoying himself,โ€ he said at last nightโ€™s press conference.

โ€œHeโ€™s been committed to getting himself back to this point. Heโ€™s had setbacks, itโ€™s been frustrating and thereโ€™s no question he would have had doubts at some points about whatโ€™s going wrong here.โ€

Daniher said that while it was amazing to be part of a remarkable win, there was still plenty for the Bombers to work on for the rest of the season.

"It was a pretty disappointing first half to be honest, itโ€™s not going to hold up for our footy club,โ€ he said.

โ€œWe managed to stick to the process and come out and get a win. But weโ€™re not playing as well as we like. Weโ€™re not sticking to our game plan as much as we want, so weโ€™ll work on that.โ€
