Port Adelaide ruck-forward Peter Ladhams is on the lookout for a new home after being told by the Power that he should consider a move elsewhere this trade period.

The 23-year-old is contracted for next year, but is a victim of a crowded Port forward-line.

Scott Lycett is the first-choice ruck, and key forwards Charlie Dixon (two years), Todd Marshall (one year) and Mitch Georgiades (two years) are all locked in for the foreseeable future.

These five clubs may consider making a move for the Norwood product:

Coleman medallist Harry McKay is widely considered as the game's premier key forward at the minute, but he hasn't got a lot of help inside forward-50.

Levi Casboult has not been offered a new deal past 2021, Mitch McGovern has been inconsistent at best during his time at Princes Park, often-injured Charlie Curnow has managed just 15 games over the last two years, andย 22-gamer Tom De Koning has shown promise but is still a largely unproven commodity.

The Blues would surely have interest in Ladhams as a ruck-forward, but with draft picks potentially headed Fremantleย for Adam Cerra, will they have the required assets to pull a move off?
