Brisbane forward Joe Daniher has announced his retirement from the AFL, just days after helping the Lions win the grand final.
The key forward played 204 matches across stints at Essendon and Brisbane, kicking 395 goals.
He played 108 matches for the Bombers before making the move to Brisbane at the end of the 2020 season. "It's been an incredible journey here at the Brisbane Lions to go from a club that was really struggling at the bottom of the ladder to winning a premiership.If the 2024 grand final was Joe Daniher's last game at the AFL, he couldn't have scripted a better way to end things. The star forward's future hangs over Brisbane's drought-breaking flag, but won't halt its hopes of going back-to-back.
Daniher still had one more season left on his contract with the Lions, but made the decision to call time on his career ahead of the club's annual awards ceremony, being held on Thursday evening. "Joe is a generational type of player that will go down as one of the best forwards to have played AFL," Brisbane Lions general manager football, Danny Daly said.
