Another jewel to add to Brisbane’s club-tied crown, with Redlands midfielder Dan Annable<\/a> another potential top-five draft prospect linked to the reigning premiers.<\/p>\n

The past three draft windows have seen the Lions add the Ascroft brothers, Jaspa Fletcher<\/a>, Sam Marshall<\/a> and Ty Gallop<\/a> as priority access prospects, and Annable will follow in their footsteps in 2025.<\/p>\n

Captaining the AFL<\/a> Academy and Allies squads this year, Annable was a centrepiece in the engine room for every side he represented.<\/p>\n

He earned best-afield honours in the AFL<\/a> Academy’s opener against Richmond’s VFL outfit, while eight games for Brisbane’s reserves in the second half of the year further buoyed Annable’s position as a ready-made midfielder.<\/p>\n

Add in his strong run in the Coates Talent League and at the U18s National Championships form, with a podium finish in the Larke Medal count arising from the latter, and 2025 proved to be a year of consistency for the highly-regarded teenager.<\/p>\n

A smart ball user, good mover and inside-outside threat, Annable has emerged as a reliable ball winner who will press his case for a spot in Chris Fagan’s side despite the star-studded pecking order in the Queensland capital.<\/p>\n

A bid for Annable could come from Richmond at Picks 3 and 4, or Essendon with the two subsequent selections, as rivals look set to make the Lions pay full price for their latest linked draft gun.<\/p>\n
