Brisbane Lions Strategy Coach Danny Daly revealed to RadioTAB how he almost fell out of love with the game he’s dedicated his life to.
Daly admitted the first few years in Brisbane were tough and that it was heartbreaking watching on as players struggled.
“It was a really hard couple of years. It was really hard. Despite the efforts of trying to coach as best as you can, it’s really hard watching the players walk into the Club with their heads down and not enjoying the footy,” he said.
“I was half falling out of love with the game.”
Daly says the 2017 season has been reinvigorating. New staff and players have injected a fresh energy amongst the Club.
“It’s amazing to sit back and even during the week in our office where we are, I was reflecting on this time last year and how hard it was,” he said.
