Brisbane and the Suns have traded picks, in a key deal that will see Fremantle star Lachie Neale become a Lion.

The Lions have traded a future round one selection to the Suns, and will land pick 19, plus a future second round and third round selection from the Suns.

Gold Coast's future third round selection included in the deal has been on-traded from Hawthorn.

It looks as though the Lions will use pick 19 in their bundle to land Neale.

Following that transaction, it could offset moves including Steven May and Jesse Hogan.
