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.
4. Jackson Callow
The former Hawthorn forward has rekindled his best form in recent years after returning to Norwood.
The 2021 Mid-Season Draft selection managed just the three AFL games during his time with the Hawks, required to play in the ruck during his short time in the top flight.
His return to The Parade has been fruitful, with Callow kicking 31 goals from 17 games to help spearhead a dominant Norwood outfit in 2024.
The 22-year-old could be ready for a second chance at AFL level and has experience on his side despite being in the early years of his career.
Other names in the SANFL for the Power to consider are former AFL-listed Glenelg stars Lachie Hosie and Liam McBean - should the club seek a ready-made replacement, while Woodville-West Torrens youngster Patrick Weckert is another with high upside.
