After a grand final finish in 2023, the Lions added to their list through free agency, trade and the draft in the hope of going one better next year.
Home to a lethal midfield group and the competition's best attacking contingent, Brisbane strengthened their backline but likely won't welcome new recruit Tom Doedee until the second half of the year.
Young gun Will Ashcroft is in a similar position after suffering his own ACL injury this year, with the Lions' grand final side to be buoyed by the pair's eventual inclusions.
A backline conundrum and a stacked midfield group will place some headaches among the selection committee, but the Lions are well-placed to contend for the premiership in 2024.
