The Lions have the personnel but their struggles through the opening half of 2024 are starting to open holes in their premiership pursuit.

With a string of key senior players are sidelined the Lions might look toward adding to their depth for the future, while a shake-up of their draft hand also awaits.

Luring local talent will always be a focus to the Queensland club, with some names from the Sunshine State still off-contract in 2025.

These are five trade options for Brisbane to consider this year...

OTHER TRADE TARGETS: ADELAIDE, CARLTON, COLLINGWOOD

3. Tyson Stengle

With the All-Australian forward an unrestricted free agent in 2024, a move for Stengle would come at no cost to Brisbane's draft hand.

The Cat small forward is yet to secure his future beyond this season and is said to be in the sights of several rivals, and Brisbane might be keen to join the queue and potentially secure a successor for Charlie Cameron.

Stengle would immediately slot into the opposing forward pocket and add to a lethal front third under Chris Fagan.

It'd be a difficult play to pull off, but if the Lions have the cap room then Stengle could a the suitable target going forward.
