The Lions look to be searching for the next Joe Daniher following his shock retirement at the end of their premiership run.
The decision gave Brisbane little time to get their affairs in order and make a splash in the trade period, with this year's off-season looking likely for a major play at a key forward.
West Coast captain and free agent Oscar Allen has been closely tied to the reigning premiers, while Bulldogs youngster Jamarra Ugle-Hagan has also been flagged as a player of interest.
The Lions are also said to be prepared to rekindle past interest in Collingwood ace Jamie Elliott, who is yet to have a deal for 2026 with the Magpies.
Adelaide's Reilly O'Brien and Essendon's Sam Draper have both been named as free agency targets for the Lions, who are seemingly keen to bolster their ruck stocks.
