The Brisbane Lions have entered the race for out-of-contract Essendon forward Joe Daniher.

Sportsday co-host Sam McClure said the Lions would be looking to work out a deal with the Bombers during the trade period.

But there’s a caveat.

“Both clubs want to see him play some footy first,” he said.

The talented key forward requested a trade to Sydney last year, but the Bombers could not reach a deal with the Swans.

Daniher has played just 11 games since winning Essendon’s best and fairest award in 2017.
