[6] Despite his skinny frame and inaccurate kicking for goal, he showed immense promise and started to stake his claim as one of the best young key forwards in the league.

That was partly due to the fact that former player and Essendon champion Matthew Lloyd helped him throughout the year.

In 2016, he continued to grow as a footballer and leader, being named in the club's leadership group and finishing the season with a career-high in marks (141) and goals (43).

He won the club goalkicking award for a third consecutive year and was joint runner-up with James Kelly in the W.S.

He finished as the club's leading goalkicker for a fourth straight season, received his debut All-Australian Team selection, and won his first W. S. Crichton Medal.

Daniher started the 2018 AFL season in substantially worse form than in the previous year, averaging less than a goal a game and having an reduced impact on the competition.

After Round 7, scans revealed the early onset of osteitis pubis, causing him to miss the rest of the season.

Daniher added a pair of goals in the Grand Final as the Lions defeated the Sydney Swans.
