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
4. Denver Grainger-Barras
Is the former Pick 6 selection someone who could have interest from Brisbane?
Grainger-Barras is unsigned beyond this season and could consider a change in environment after a difficult start to his career with the Hawks.
While Hawthorn might be keen to retain the Western Australian, the Lions could look to make a move for the off-contract key defender and add him to their rearguard stocks.
As a depth option who could press his case and place pressure on Chris Fagan's senior side, Grainger-Barras would also learn from one of the best in the business in Brisbane skipper Harris Andrews.
