Adelaide Crows offer $10 million to Brisbane Lions star Zac Bailey

The Adelaide Crows have presented Brisbane Lions forward Zac Bailey with a seven‑year contract worth $10 million, prompting the player to weigh his options amid interest from his current club, which has also increased its offer. Bailey has indicated he is “still torn” about the decision, while teammates have been enlisted to persuade him to stay in Brisbane.

The offers come as the AFL trade and list‑management period approaches, with clubs across the league scouting both established stars and a pool of 21 unsigned players who could be targeted in the upcoming July 2026 trade window. The heightened activity reflects broader roster reshaping efforts ahead of the next season.
