The Lions are well placed within the premiership window but have shown signs they may be a piece or two short of the full puzzle.
Chris Fagan's squad is littered with star midfielders and forward threats, with holes to be filled across half-back and throughout their depth to extend their run toward their first flag since 2003.
Taking into consideration ageing players and in-demand, out-of-contract names - Daniel McStay being a prime example - we assess who Brisbane could seek out at the end of this season.
In no particular order, here are five targets the Lions could consider moving for in 2022.

5. Will Martyn
Local products are quite scarce for Queensland clubs, and when it comes to building squads they can never look too far beyond players feeling right at home in the Sunshine state.
Martyn, a former member of Brisbane's Academy, joined Richmond through the 2019 National Draft and has been limited to appearances at AFL level given the Tigers' strong stocks in their engine room.
A move for someone like Martyn is one that the Lions would be able to rely on, wouldn't cost much and would also act as a depth option in their squad.
The 21-year-old has recorded 26 possession from his two stints on field for the Tigers, having been listed for a third game as an unused medical sub last season.
He's not a name that will have an overwhelming impact on the Lions' flag chances, but there is plenty of room for the former Lions Academy captain to grow.
