The Brisbane Lions are exploring pick swaps as they prepare for the upcoming Telstra AFL Draft next month. They aim to match a potential first-round bid on Academy prospect Caylen Murray, who is anticipated to be selected within the top 10. Brisbane currently holds picks 21, 27, and 28 following recent trades. Analysts suggest the Lions may become increasingly creative with their selections to acquire additional points to facilitate their aim.
