List changes

[1] At the end of the 2016 season Trent West and Daniel Merrett both retired as well, Trent due to injury frustrations [2] and Merrett due to wanting to spend more time with his family. [3] The Lions also delisted five players: Hugh Beasley, Billy Evans, Josh McGuinness, Jackson Paine and Josh Watts. [4]

During the trade period, Brisbane traded Irishman Pearce Hanley to rival club Gold Coast in a complicated three-way trade also involving Port Adelaide. [5] Out of contract Collingwood player Jack Frost requested a trade to Brisbane after not managing to play an AFL match in 2016. [6] He was traded to Brisbane along with Pick 76 in the 2016 national draft and Collilngwood's third round pick in the 2017 national draft in exchange for Brisbane's third and fourth round picks in the 2017 national draft. [7] After the trade period Brisbane delisted forward Josh Green. [8]
