An 0-5 start to the season all but ended Port Adelaide's finals hopes for 2022, and, despite a much-improved rest of the season, Ken Hinkley's side would finish in 11th with a 10-12 record - eight points outside the top eight.
The disappointing season has left fans restless after making back-to-back preliminary final appearances in 2020 and 2021.
In terms of departures, superstar Robbie Gray have retired, as has veteran small forward Steven Motlop.
Wingman Karl Amon expressed his desire to explore the free agency market, with a move to Hawthorn on the cards, while the club also announced the delistings of former Lions pair Sam Mayes and Sam Skinner, and untried father-son rookie Taj Schofield.
The Power will be desperate for a better start to 2023 as they seek a return to September action.
We've compiled a list, in no particular order, of five targets that Port Adelaide could target this off-season to help them rebound next year.
TRADE TARGETS: ADELAIDE, BRISBANE, CARLTON, COLLINGWOOD, ESSENDON, FREMANTLE, GEELONG, GOLD COAST, GWS, HAWTHORN, MELBOURNE
5. Bailey Banfield (Fremantle)
Definitely a left-field option but could Fremantle's Bailey Banfield help fill the forward line holes left by the departures of Robbie Gray and Steven Motlop?
An unrestricted free agent at season's end, Bainfield remains unsigned despite playing 21 games this season for Fremantle.
At 190cm, Banfield has the ability to play smaller than his size suggests and has averaged just under a goal per game this year.
The 24-year-old's around the ground numbers aren't eye-catching, averaging just 6.8 disposals and 1.2 tackles per game, albeit with four games as an unused medi-sub and more as a used medi-sub.
Banfield has an eye for goal and might wish to search for more consistency and he could find a spot in Port's forward line in 2023.
He would be a cheap pick-up and should improve his output, he could become a useful signing for any club that chooses to go after him this off-season should he seek a move.
Definitely not an obvious selection but with a limited market for goal-kicking forwards, this is certainly one move that could happen, with Banfield's contract saga to most likely run on into finals.
