Following the news that Adelaide and Daniel Talia will go their separate ways at season's end, it's likely that a number of AFL clubs are sure to ask the question of his services for next year.
A two-time All-Australian and Malcolm Blight medallist, Talia would offer any keen suitor the duty of a formidable key defender, a void several clubs will be looking to fill this off-season.
With this in mind, we've named FIVE potential landing spots for the departing Adelaide backman.

The Bombers have surprised many in being closer to impacting the September action than first thought, with Ben Rutten now looking to build on an impressive young list.
While development to their promising young guns is key for Essendon's future success, there remains to be some fine tuning required to take the next few steps in their push for a flag.
In doing so, adding some ready-made talent to key positions is sure to be in the mind of Rutten and Adrian Dodoro this off-season.

With Talia now up for grabs to rival clubs, the Bombers could rekindle their previous reported interest in the dual All-Australian defender as an asset for the club over the next several seasons.
With Michael Hurley tied to the sidelines and the future of Cale Hooker looking unclear, Talia firms as a suitable and cheap option for the Bombers to bolster their key-position stocks.
The Saints have been vocal in their recruitment for key backman over the past several seasons, signing the likes of Dougal Howard, Jake Carlisle and James Frawley.
The latter duo are unlikely to remain at Moorabbin past this year, with Howard to require assistance in defence as Brett Ratten looks to ignite the club's premiership credentials.
Talia would arrive at St Kilda and quickly fill the mould of a reliable defender, albeit at 30-years old come the turn of the year.
The veteran defender would cover the bridge of waiting for younger players to develop while the Saints firm for a top-eight finish and contend toward the top of the ladder across the coming years.
With a premiership alluding him, Talia could see the Saints as an ideal avenue to reach that maiden success in the league after getting narrowly close with the Crows in the past.
Known to be in the market for ready-made and experienced talent once again, Talia could be in the frame for Gold Coast's recruitment drive in 2021.
The Suns are building their strongest list yet, but could require some assistance for the likes of Sam Collins and Charlie Ballard down back.
While success is no guarantee should Talia head to the Sunshine State, the Suns' ceiling is as high as any club's.
Talia is likely to be a cheap option for any potential suitor, meaning the Suns won't rue the financial implications should the departing Crows defender struggle to get on the park.
A different move to Queensland could be fitting for Talia, as the Lions look to put together a side worthy of a premiership.
Chris Fagan's side are nearing a Grand Final finish, and could look to the Adelaide best and fairest winner as a catalyst to claim their first flag since 2003.
Harris Andrews is undoubtedly one of the competition's best defenders, but has struggled to find a suitable side-kick to aid an opposition attack, with both Darcy Gardiner and Marcus Adams facing ongoing injury setbacks.
Add Talia into the mix with the aforementioned trio and Brandon Starcevich, and Fagan's back six is looking to be as strong as any.
No doubt this move would require somewhat of a miracle to happen, but Talia is the exact type of player the Bulldogs have been crying out for.
An experienced key-defender that can sit alongside former teammate Alex Keath, Talia could be the missing piece of the puzzle for the Whitten Oval club.
This move just about ticks every box, except for one.
For any agreement to come to fruition, it's likely Luke Beveridge will need to remove any grudge he holds toward Talia, after his brother Michael provided game-sensitive information on the Bulldogs' plans to the Crows defender six seasons ago.
Beveridge was, and perhaps still is, ropeable with the discussions between the Talia brothers, and it's likely that chip remains on his shoulder to this day.
Beveridge will need to set aside any differences he has with Talia for a move of the sort to land this off-season.
Should he do so, the Bulldogs' already glowing premiership push will be given a boost for next season.
