The Brisbane Lions can not earn a premiership when Joe Daniher carries on to participate in with “reduced footy IQ”, AFL great Nathan Brown thinks.
Talking on Nine’s AFL Sunday Footy Clearly show, Brown said the 28-calendar year-old’s job rather resembles the early aspect of Jack Riewoldt’s career ahead of he manufactured a alter which took him to the prime of the AFL.

“I even now believe (the Lions) are in the premiership window … he is a incredibly gifted participant, Joe Daniher, but although he performs like this, with minimal footy IQ, I will not think they can get a premiership,” Brown stated.

Daniher – who joined Brisbane from Essendon on a offer claimed to be worth close to $750,000 a year – experienced just 14 disposals in the Lions’ 71-stage thrashing at the hands of the Cats at the MCG.
He kicked just the just one behind, took 6 marks and had 11 kicks. In the 2nd quarter he had just one disposal.
“If I am Joe Daniher’s coaching team, I’m expressing ‘ring up Jack Riewoldt and request how he changed’ since Jack Riewoldt in the early part of his job, was a identical sort of participant,” Brown explained.
“Jack Riewoldt changed and he grew to become a superior player, a defensive player.
“(Daniher) required the ball sent to him 120 metres absent the other evening, he was arguing with the umpires … if he would not transform they won’t be able to gain a flag.”
Matthew Lloyd said mentor Chris Fagan had a purpose to engage in in helping Daniher, and that his overall performance on Friday night time was also much from his finest.
He mentioned the Lions require to glimpse for personnel to enhance Fagan’s strengths.
“I consider Chris is 1 of the great man managers. You really don’t want to be every thing as a senior mentor, but you surround your self with what you perhaps deficiency,” he said.
“He is not as strategic as a Chris Scott for example, but you can surround on your own with persons who are not guy supervisors like Chris Fagan. So that is what I would be heading just after.”
