Brisbane star Cam Rayner has pledged his future to the club, as he is expected to be one of the most sought-after players next year.
Fresh off winning a grand final, Rayner enters the last year of his contract in 2025, with many clubs likely to pitch him in a potential move.
Teammates Hugh McCluggage and Jarrod Berry were swatting away rival interest throughout their historic season that ended in premiership glory before re-committing to the club long-term.
Rayner originally hails from Melbourne, with a host of clubs prepping their pitches for the mid-forward, who still has plenty of upside.
However, the 25-year-old is fully fledged into the Queensland lifestyle and doesn't see himself playing anywhere else.
"It does get a little bit interesting," Rayner told SEN's The Run Home.
"I feel like this has been happening the last couple of years where you see the boys like Hugh (McCluggage) get the pressure put on them as well.
"I love the footy club, and I can see the footy club is in such a perfect spot at the moment, and I want to stay at the Lions and play for as long as I can.
"I'm just looking forward to getting back to training and playing through next year,ย and we'll see how it goes from there."
Rayner recently returned from an off-season trip in Japan to get stuck into work in preparation for the 2025 season.
The Lions will hope to buck the two-year trend of clubs winning premierships and failing to make the finals the following year.
Geelong (2022) and Collingwood (2023) were unable to defend their flags in proof of how even the competition is becoming.
