Fremantle wingman Nathan O'Driscoll is said to be in the sights of Port Adelaide as he remains without a contract for 2025.
O'Driscoll is among a dozen Dockers players yet to secure their future for next year, with Fremantle making moves this week to decrease that list following the recent recommitments of Bailey Banfield, Sam Sturt and Corey Wagner for the next two years.
The 22-year-old played just two games at AFL level this year due to injury, with knee and calf injuries hampering the fourth-year speedster.
The emergence of recruit Jeremy Sharp has hampered O'Dricsoll's selection prospects this year as well, while other midfield options in Matthew Johnson, Jaeger O'Meara, James Aish and Banfield have also held roles on the outskirts of Justin Longmuir's engine room.
Still unsigned as the Dockers continue to work through the early stages of their off-season, O'Driscoll is said to have earned interest from the Power ahead of next month's trade period.
The West Australianย has revealed the South Australian club has the Perth product on his radar in the hope of adding some run to their own midfield pack.
Port Adelaide could have a busy off-season of player movement, having been tied to a number of rival players who are also without contracts for 2025 still.
GWS free agents Harry Perryman and Isaac Cumming have been linked to Alberton moves, while Collingwood forward Joe Richards is said to have a deal on the table from the Power as he weighs up his future after making his this year.
Western Bulldogs midfield-forward Riley Garcia is another Western Australian who has the attention of the Power this year.
Port Adelaide are also set to deal with the future of All-Australian defender Dan Houston, who was linked to a potential move back to Victoria despite being contracted until the end of 2027.
Carlton, St Kilda and Collingwood are said to be among the clubs circling Houston's signature despite the rebounding backman recently telling local radio he intends to remain with the Power.
Port Adelaide would likely demand multiple first-round picks in any deal for Houston, with the club's current hand for this year's draft sitting at selections 37 and 55 after trading their 2024 first-round pick to Fremantle last year.
