Brisbane Lions Eye Potential Trade Targets for Continued Success

The Brisbane Lions, current champions of the AFL, are looking to bolster their roster as they aim for a historic third consecutive premiership. With a healthy squad and a week off following the Wildcard Round, the team is assessing potential trade targets for the upcoming offseason.

Among the players being considered is Western Bulldogs' livewire, who has increased his value with strong performances in finals. He could serve as a replacement for Zac Bailey if he opts for a lucrative deal from the Adelaide Crows. Additionally, clubs are eyeing a potential loophole to acquire a veteran player nearing the end of his contract with Carlton, which could benefit the Lions.

Other names linked to the Lions include Essendon’s Jordan Ridley, who has faced injury challenges, and Liam McMahon, who showed promise in the VFL but struggled to secure a spot in the AFL. The Lions are also monitoring Zane Duursma, a young talent from North Melbourne, as they look to enhance their squad during a transitional phase.
