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.

Brisbane's talls stocks are thin, with key forward Eric Hipwood set to miss a fair portion of next season after suffering an ACL injury in July, and opportunity-starved ruck Archie Smith requesting a trade after zero senior appearances in 2021.

The Lions would benefit from Ladhams coming in and being able to chop out the workload for Oscar McInerney in the middle, as well as providing another key position option up forward alongside Joe Daniher and Daniel McStay.

Brisbane currently hold two late first-round picks in November's draft and could table an enticing offer to Port Adelaide, but can they lure Ladhams up north?
