Lock Points Daniel Rich has played the third highest game for Brisbane Lions since his release in 2009 Daniel Rich has played third most games for Brisbane Lions since his release in 2009, Rich will miss the big finale today after retirement early in season Rich will kidnap today's Grand Final after retirement in the early hours of season and have not been involved in a big final since 2004 and have not been able to win a flag since 2003 After moving away from playing the final between 2010-2018, Rich's 275-game career, which covers 15 seasons in Brisbane, has already ended. Although Chris lost his place in his best team, he continued a self -sacrificing attitude before today's decision to 33 -year -old Collingwood after 13 round defeat to Hawthorn. The exploded left foot joined the training session in front of thousands of lion supporters in McG on Friday and roared when they all scored a goal. "Daniel Rich is one of our Footy club's big team men."Said. "Unfortunately, one the challenging stories spent a year full of soft tissue injury and would be part the team there. "So far was nothing more than the supporter on the day I first came. "Within last three or four weeks, he dedicated only to being around the team and being a part of team and encouraging everyone very well." Without Rich's influence, it is possible that Lachie Neale made a different decision when it leaves Fremantle at the end of 2018. Brisbane played finals the club in whole five seasons of Neale, adding a brownlow medal that he won 2020 on Monday night. Neale said, "We feel that you will not be out as 'Richy', but it was a big part of this journey."Said. “Even when I first thought about coming to Brisbane, 'Richy' was the first to lie down. "He asked Jules and myself visiting Brisbane at lunch and guiding us throughout this process. "A great friend since the first day." In 2009, Rich won the Rising Star Award in two finals in two finals, but he would play with only 43 wins out of the next 159 matches.
