Joe Daniher has celebrated his breakthrough premiership after the Brisbane Lions dominated the AFL grand final. The key forward finished with two goals and four behinds to his name and let loose when he kicked his second major late in the contest. Leaping towards the crowd with his fist in the air, the 30-year-old was mobbed by overjoyed teammates. “It was a beautiful feeling, mate, something I’ll look back on for sure,” Daniher told Channel 7.
“The club was in an amazing position, it had obviously come from a long way back. A lot of people deserve this, a lot more than a few of us who jumped on a bit late. “So pleased for the whole group, the whole footy club, the whole support base.” Daniher praised the efforts of the young players — the likes of Will Ashcroft and Logan Morris — who energised Brisbane.
