 Solomon holds key to Brown's move - www.realfooty.com.au
The Tigers, who are likely to have to trade their first-round draft pick for the second year in a row, are hoping to find some of the sizeable salary cap room required to accommodate Brown and, potentially, Solomon, by off-loading Ben Holland who has expressed an interest in joining Melbourne.
Adelaide - which courted Holland two years ago - is also a possible destination for him, although the final year of a contract with a guaranteed base of almost $260,000 plus match payments is seen as prohibitive.
That means the Blues, who are trying to woo Port Adelaide's Nick Stevens and Brisbane's Luke Power among others, can only trade the very few players of appeal they have, or get players to nominate for the pre-season draft and leave their clubs without compensation.
