Port Adelaide has a strong chance to be without tall forward Todd Marshall for the entire 2025 season, with a ruptured Achilles placing the Power attacker on the sidelines for an extended period.
The South Australian club will need to assess and settle on new plans for the upcoming campaign in the wake of Marshall's setback, with the Power home to a handful of fringe forwards who could fill the void.
With a list vacancy giving them a chance to add to their squad via the Supplemental Selection Period, Port Adelaide could also look to replace Marshall with a name outside of the AFL.
Here we assess five names who could step into a forward role for the Power this year to feature alongside Mitch Georgiades and Jack Lukosius in attack.
3. Lachie Gollant
A look at names outside of the AFL, Gollant is one of the better-rated tall forwards who left the league over the off-season.
The 23-year-old was cut by the Crows after just 16 games in four seasons, struggling to break into a potent attack that consisted of Taylor Walker, Darcy Fogarty and Riley Thilthorpe.
His form at the SANFL level suggested there is plenty to work with, as Gollant recorded 71 goals from 29 games in the state league over the past two seasons to lead Adelaide's goalkicking in both campaigns.
The athletic forward has since moved back to Victoria for the 2025 season, linking up with Williamstown to continue his career.
The Seagulls are also home to former Gold Coast forwardย Brodie McLaughlin, who is another name worthy of consideration by the Power.
