The Brisbane Lions are reportedly showing considerable interest in Adelaide’s Brodie Smith.
According to Caroline Wilson, the Lions have the key Crow on their transfer hit list which stems from the rebounding defender's friendship with Brisbane's GM of Football David Noble.
“I'll tell you one player that’s on their list and that is Brodie Smith, he’s definitely on their list,” Wilson said on FIVEaa.
“He also had a pretty good relationship with David Noble.”
Former Crow Stephen Rowe added that the Lions had made contact with the 27-year-old’s management.
However, he would be surprised if Smith up and left the Crows considering he signed a three-year deal last year.
“We know he’s very close to Charlie Cameron,” Rowe said.
“He’s got two years still to run on his contract. He’s got leadership aspirations. I think sitting here now he’d stay. If there’s no change at that football club, there’s a chance he could go.
“There’s a lot of people like Brodie Smith and names that are being picked off like cherries on a tree by other managers and clubs because of the position the Crows are in.
“It’s critical they get it right. He leaves, you may as well close the door.
“You build clubs around quality men like B.Smith. I was shattered when I heard that and he has been enquired about.”
The 2014 All-Australian has played 167 games for the Crows having debuted in 2011.
