As each side makes their preparations for the upcoming trade period, we have taken a look at how each club stacks up in talent, age and experience to see how close they are to contending for a flag.
See how we've marked every club's premiership window.
Brisbane
The Lions qualified for their first finals series since 2009 and despite going out in straight sets, the club showed plenty of promise and can only build on their success in 2020. Led by coach Chris Fagan, Brisbane surged up the ladder this season on the back of their young stars.
With an average age of just 22.6, the second-youngest in the league, Brisbane's youthful list is still yet to enter its prime. Although they failed to make it count on the biggest stage in 2019, the experienced garnered will hold them in good stead as they undoubtedly return to the finals next year.
Brisbane had the quality to make the finals this year but not the experience to finish the job. Next year, they could go further.
