Since Chris Fagan has taken the reins of the Brisbane Lions, the club has been able to bring stars from right across the league such as Charlie Cameron, Lachie Neale, Luke Hodge, and more recently Josh Dunkley, to name a few.
Their ability to bring in all types of players whether they were consistently injured, veterans, or superstars from another team has ultimately boosted the depth of the Lions squad and reignited careers that have risen a team that was competing for the wooden spoon to now be placed as premiership contenders.
Off the back of a busy 2022 exchange window that also included the addition of Jack Gunston, Conor McKenna and father-son picks in Will Ashcroft and Jaspa Fletcher, the Lions will be without a first-round pick in the upcoming off-season.
In the second part of our club-by-club AFL trade targets series, we take a look at the potential off-contract players Brisbane could look to attract to the sunshine state.
4. Harrison Himmelberg
Harry Himmelberg has undoubtedly been one of the rocks that GWS can rely on to perform since his debut in 2016. He has been a dynamic swingman who has kicked 159 goals in his seven-year stint in Western Sydney so far and has played a pivotal role as an option that can get thrown into defence.
Whilst the Lions may not favour him after picking up Gunston last year, Himmelberg may be a closer replica to former Lion Dan McStay. Himmelberg, measuring in at 195cm and 94kg, might also be the player that helps Eric Hipwood's confidence when comes to creating a forward contest.

His forward pressure may also solve another problem for the Lions, while Himmelberg is another target Brisbane would be considering for their backline and would also come at no cost given his free agency status.
