New Brisbane recruit Brent Moloney ready to roar as a Lion

The former Melbourne star arrived at the Gabba late yesterday for a medical screening and his two-year deal with Brisbane will be formally announced as early as this morning.

The 28-year-old free agent met with Lions medical, strength and conditioning, and coaching staff and got the all clear from club powerbrokers last night.

Meanwhile, Melbourne ruck-forward Stefan Martin will fly to Brisbane today for an interview.
The Lions and Demons are yet to contemplate what he would be worth in trade terms, waiting on the outcome of today's meetings.
Should the Lions be interested in Martin, they have picks 33 and 53 available. But Martin is probably not worth 33 and Melbourne would probably expect more than 53.
The possibility of a Martin move might become tied into negotiations between Melbourne, North Melbourne and Port Adelaide over Cameron Pedersen's move from North to Melbourne and Ben Jacobs' shift back to Victoria.
North and Port are struggling to reach a deal on Jacobs and the pick North might receive for Pedersen could come into calculations.

Jesse White

But Adelaide may not be alone in chasing White, who would strengthen the Crows' forward options and ease the threat of key forward Taylor Walker being double-teamed by defences next season when he will Adelaide's No. 1 forward.

The Crows understand Brisbane is interested in White. The Lions today are interviewing Melbourne ruckman-forward Stefan Martin for the same role of supporting captain Jonathan Brown in the Brisbane attack.

Stefan Martin

Martin, 26, flew to Brisbane yesterday to talk with Lions coach Michael Voss and medical staff.
With Melbourne recruiting Collingwood forward Chris Dawes and possibly North Melbourne's Cameron Pedersen, Martin's role at the Demons could be limited, despite having a year left on his contract.
Several clubs have asked Melbourne about Martin but Brisbane are in the box seat to lure the 57-gamer north as a foil to captain Jonathan Brown.
A draft pick would be enough to see a trade completed by the 1pm Friday deadline.

Stefan Martin

A THREE-WAY deal delivering Stefan Martin, Ben Jacobs and Cameron Pedersen to their clubs of choice has been stalled by Brisbane's cold feet and Melbourne's meagre compensation selection.

Brisbane's reluctance to part with pick 33 for Demon utility Martin is the latest snag as Friday's 2pm deadline looms.

The potential deal could have seen Martin traded to Brisbane for 33, which the Demons could have given to the Roos for Pedersen, who could have on-traded it in the deal for homesick Port player Jacobs.

It loomed as the most likely deal to solve the trade impasse, but despite hosting Martin this week Brisbane does not believe he is worth that selection.

Stefan Martin (Greg Davis)

Martin met with Lions officials at the Gabba on Tuesday and is understood to be keen to head to Queensland, but he has one year left on his contract with the Demons.
Brisbane hold picks eight, 24, 33, 53, 73 and 91 at next month's national draft.
Melbourne want selection no.33 in exchange for Martin but Brisbane are unlikely to part with a pick that high.
The club's next pick at no.53 is also unlikely to satisfy the Demons meaning the two teams will have to hammer out a compromise in the dying stages of the trade period to deliver the 26-year-old key position prospect to Brisbane.
