Taylin Duman's delisting from Fremantle was a product of the club's impressive depth in key-defenders, with fellow tall backman Tobe Watson also not offered a new deal for next season.
Three off-season wrist surgeries certainly didn't help Duman's case for the 2021 season, facing an uphill battle to cement his place early in Justin Longmuir's side.
Added to the setbacks is the battle Duman has faced in fighting for a spot alongside the likes of Luke Ryan, Alex Pearce, Griffin Logue, Hayden Young and Brennan Cox in Longmuir's defence.
29 appearances in his two years prior to this season, Duman was a staple for the Dockers, offering plenty of attack from the backline.

Now, come the conclusion of their 2021 campaign, Duman's services will need to be utilised elsewhere for the 23-year-old to continue his AFL career.
With this in mind, we've named five potential landing spots for the delisted Dockers defender.
4. Collingwood
The Magpies are in the midst of a rebuild and don't look to have the financial capabilities to add high quality talent to their young list.
At this stage of their bid to return to the top, Collingwood will be looking to stock up on draft selections and add youth to their list the cheapest way possible.
Should they gauge their sights towards Duman, the Magpies would be able to add an experienced defender with plenty left to offer at a cheap price, a bargain you could say.
With Jordan Roughead in the twilight of his career and veterans Levi Greenwood and Chris Mayne already hanging up the boots, opportunities in the Magpies defence have opened up.
