Following a busy trade period in 2023, Port Adelaide will be an intriguing watch this off-season regarding how they look to improve their list over the coming months.

The Power brought in defensive pair Esava Ratugolea and Brandon Zerk-Thatcher to strengthen their rearguard, while ruckmen Ivan Soldo and Jordon Sweet have also been relied on this season as the South Australian side looks to break its premiership dry spell under coach Ken Hinkley.

So what area of the club's list will the Power be keen to add come the trade and free agency space?

Forwards, both small and tall, could be of interest, while more midfield depth may also be an avenue for the Power to go down.

We've named five players for Port Adelaide to potentially chase come the off-season...

2. Jack Hayes

It would be a gamble for any club to move for Hayes given his injury-plagued time in the AFL with St Kilda, but the South Australian would come at little cost to any keen suitor.

The Woodville-West Torrens premiership player has played eight games over three seasons with the Saints, having endured knee and foot issues since being picked up as a Supplemental Selection Period acquisition.

The start of his career was filled with excitement, with Hayes booting three goals on debut and having six majors in five games before a season-ending ACL injury.

The Saints showed their faith in the ruck-forward to have him signed until the end of this season, where he could fetch some interest from the Power given his ability as a supporting ruckman who can be a threat front of centre.
