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.
5. Liam McMahon
The Power would have to get aggressive if they see McMahon as a player of interest, with the former Collingwood tall already pushing for a list spot with Carlton.
McMahon looks ready to step back into the top flight after several seasons back in the VFL.
He was one of the best performers outside of the AFL last year, booting 45 goals from 16 games - kicking multiple goals in every appearance he made for the Blues' VFL side in 2024.
His dominant season has placed him back on the radar of AFL clubs, with Carlton considering the 22-year-old with one of their own open list spots.
A play for McMahon by the Power would have to persuade the tall forward to prefer his chances in South Australia rather than Princes Park.
