Port Adelaide came so close in 2020 to winning the flag, stumbling at the penultimate hurdle against the eventual premiers.
This season they're building nicely despite looking a bit suspect at times, and could have what it takes to go all the way.
In saying that, there are still some players that could be added to their ranks to help them take that next step should they fail in 2021.

We continue our โFive trade targets for every clubโ series with Port Adelaide.ย
In no particular order, here are five players which the Power recruitment team would do well to target and potentially poach.
4. Jack Lukosiusย
This Gold Coast defender/midfielder would be great for the Power with his versatility being an asset to any side he is a part of.

His main feature is his ability to go by foot and the accuracy with which he can hit passes. The 20-year-old is ranked 18th in kicks per game, with the vast majority of his disposals coming from kicking.
Standing at 195cm tall, his size means he can go down back and play on a big sized forward or drift off the half-back line towards the wing should his team need him to.

Lukosius' ability to take the ball over-head is a key feature of his game too, and he is ranked seventh in the league for marks per game.
The scariest thing is that he is just a mere 20-year-old and was drafted in 2018 at pick #2. Port Adelaide would have to throw in a sizeable offer for him should they want to coax him back home to Adelaide, but it might all be worth it considering the immense talent this young man possesses.
