Daniher entered the 2015 AFL season as the club's spearhead up forward, a challenging task considering it was only his third season of senior football. Despite kicking only 34 goals for the entire season, Daniher showed improvement in many key areas of his game, especially accuracy at goal; this was partly due to the fact that former player and Essendon champion Matthew Lloyd helped him with this throughout the year. He led the club's goalkicking for a second consecutive season and showed more presence on the field.
