Brisbane captain Tom Rockliff says the Lions' training facilities are not up to AFL standards.

Rockliff says facilities haven't been changed for 16 years at the club, which sits second last on the AFL ladder, having registered just two wins for the season.

"We're below ground the whole time, we don't have any sunlight in there or anything like that and the gym only got a makeover because it flooded last year," Rockliff told RSN radio on Wednesday.

The 26-year-old said it was hard enough battling to compete with the AFL's biggest clubs in a non-traditional football market without the added disadvantage of aging facilities.
