Brisbane's medical staff can be rated as one of the premier groups in the competition, and is a major selling point for players.
The Lions will land injury-prone free agents Oscar Allen and Sam Draper, beating out the likes of West Coast, Hawthorn, Adelaide and Essendon for their signatures.
It comes shortly after the club secured a second consecutive premiership.
But the acquisition of Draper and Allen, who combined for 17 matches in 2025, follows a long list of talent that has found a haven in Queensland.
The pair have battled over the years with their health, playing one full season each.
They also lured Adelaide's Tom Doedee amid his ACL recovery.
The Lions have a strong history of returning players to full health.
Joe Daniher came across from the Bombers at the end of 2020, having played 15 games in the past three years due to injury. In his four years at the Lions, he featured 98 times, including every game in 2023 and 2024.
Lincoln McCarthy was on a similar trajectory to Daniher, having struggled during his time at Geelong. From foot problems to back and groin injuries, the small forward played 29 games in seven years. Once he joined the Lions, he rarely missed a match from 2019, but suffered a back-to-back ACL injury.
Retired premiership ruckman Oscar McInerney was also managed throughout 2025, flagging shoulder and back problems from last year. He walks out of the club as a premier.
They had nine stars play all 27 games this year, and another four missed only one. Last year's number was 11. Nine in 2024.
Brisbane list manager Dom Ambrogio alluded to the club's "really stable" medical team as part of their sales pitch to rival players, and the track record proves it.
"They're very involved," Ambrogio said on the opening day of the AFL Trade Period.
"And we're really proud of our medical guys and our high-performance guys. There's been a really stable group for a long time, and we just think that they do a fantastic job, and we couldn't be happier with it."
The Draper-Allen exercise is the next chapter.
