The Dockers have opted to off-load key forward Matthew Taberner in an off-season cutting spree, backing in Jye Amiss and Josh Treacy for the club's future up forward.
The axing will have some clubs on alert, especially those lacking in the tall forward stocks.
With just nine senior matches in the past two seasons, Taberner's nine goals aren't anything to sell the farm for, but he has shown capability as a target, booting 89 goals from 45 games for the Dockers between 2020 and 2022.
A number of veteran sides in the premiership window have a spot to be filled for a second or third tall forward and may opt for an established product over a developing youngster to help get them over the hump.
Here are three clubs with potentially the most to gain from adding the 31-year-old to their list...
2. Melbourne
Like Collingwood, if Melbourne still think they are capable of grand success in 2025, they need more experience in their key-forward brigade.
Tom McDonald's days as a forward are past him, and the club are no longer relying on Ben Brown for the bulk of their scoreboard production.
It remains unknown who will take the second-fiddle mantle behind Jacob Van Rooyen for the near future at Melbourne; Daniel 'Disco' Turner looks rather capable, but there may be connection struggles with such a young pair of key forwards.
Perhaps an experienced campaigner is what the Dees need to thrive up forward like they did in September of 2021.
