Joe Daniher considering his AFL future after Brisbane Lions’ grand final against Sydney

[Author 0]

Speculation is mounting that Brisbane Lions star Joe Daniher is considering his AFL future after Saturday’s grand final against the Sydney Swans.

7NEWS Melbourne’s Mitch Cleary understands the 30-year-old has spoken to those close to him in recent weeks about whether he will play on in 2025.

A father-son product with the choice to play for Sydney or Essendon, Daniher chose the Bombers and played 108 games for the Victorian club before arriving at the Lions ahead of the 2021 season.

One year earlier a bid to join the Swans fell over at the trade deadline.

His father Anthony’s career was split between Sydney and the Bombers.

The junior Daniher battled injury in his last three years at Essendon, making just 15 appearances, but has been an ever-present for Brisbane while embarking on a unique living situation.

He lives two hours south of the Queensland capital in the small northern New South Wales town of Ocean Shores.

“Daniher is contracted for next year but those at the club have made no secret in the past as to how much in the northern NSW beaches,” Cleary said.

Daniher last re-signed in 2022.

On the field, Daniher has kicked 202 goals in 95 games for the Lions, including four in the stunning come-from-behind win over GWS in the semi-final two weeks ago.

The left-footer kicked three goals in the four-point defeat to Collingwood in last year’s grand final.
