YOUNG Brisbane Lions ruckman Cameron Wood has attracted significant interest from a number of clubs, including St Kilda, Adelaide and Collingwood.

Wood is contracted to Brisbane for another 12 months, but the South Australian is clearly behind Jamie Charman and outstanding ruck prospect Matthew Leuenberger in the pecking order at Brisbane and is likely to request a trade.

Wood, who was the Lions' first pick in the 2004 draft (No. 18), is looming as one of three or four ruckmen who will figure prominently in trade discussions, with Adelaide pair John Meesen and Ben Hudson seeking new homes — Meesen wants to play for Melbourne, while Hudson is hoping to sign a three-year contract with the Western Bulldogs.

Geelong also could produce a surplus ruckman, given that Steven King and Mark Blake are confronting the season-long question of whether both can be accommodated.

Wood's manager, Justin Reid of Elite Sports Properties, last night confirmed that Wood wanted more opportunities to play.

"Cameron obviously wants more opportunity but he's currently under contract with the Brisbane Lions," Reid said.

"They've got four ruckmen and they're saying he's a required player, but that all could certainly change next week as well. So, you hear a lot of things at this time of year, and a lot of it comes to fruition probably next Thursday and Friday."

Brisbane would demand a first-round draft pick, at the least, in return for the 204-centimetre follower, who spent most of the season in the local competition, with Leuenberger — pick four in the 2006 draft and nominated as a future superstar by champion teammate Jonathan Brown — selected ahead of him in the latter stages of his first season.

Brisbane also has former premiership ruckman Beau McDonald on its list.

The Lions recently re-signed Charman to a four-year contract following strong interest from Melbourne clubs, including Richmond.
