BRISBANE coach Michael Voss says it would have been "a bit wrong'' for Jonathan Brown to completely relinquish leadership duties at the Gabba.
Brown will step down as sole captain in 2013 but will remain as a co-captain after four seasons as the single figurehead.
Voss said the new co-captain will be announced in the near future but it was important that Brown still played a critical leadership role due to the AFL superstar's sheer "presence''.
"One of the first things that Brownie spoke about was stepping down and I thought it just sort of looked a bit wrong to have the big fella coming in behind somebody,'' Voss said.
"He'll always be a leader but to be able to have him out the front with someone beside him just made a bit more sense than stepping down.''
Voss said it was the right time to start "succession planning'' at the Lions.
"It's just a sign of where our group is at and the fact that Brownie has got a lot of confidence in the group that is coming through,'' he said.
Meanwhile, Brisbane today announced a three-year, seven-figure sponsorship deal with storage company, National Storage.
National Storage joins Vero insurance joins the club as a co-major sponsor.
The Lions posted a net operating loss of $2,513,262 for the financial year ending October 31, 2012. It was Brisbane's third-straight seven-figure loss. They lost $2.5 million in 2010 and another $1.8 million in 2011.
The Lions also recorded a $603,207 loss in 2009 and a $2.2 million loss in 2008.
Brisbane CEO Malcolm Holmes said the new deal would help the club turnaround its bottom line.
"It's a great outcome for the club...it's great news. It shows there is a lot of support for our brand,'' Holmes said.
