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...
3. Brisbane
An alternative option, but plausible if Eric Hipwood finds a home down back with an off-season of training.
Constant speculation surrounding their backup key defender role behind Harris Andrews may force Brisbane's hand with a permanent move for Hipwood to defence, which would open a spot up forward.
Logan Morris has shown real promise as a tall target in his debut season, though 2025 is likely too soon for the 19-year-old to play second fiddle behind Joe Daniher. Being a capable hybrid, Morris may develop into the third target at the Lions anyway.
Taberner is a relatively accurate shot at goal and may be the start to solving Brisbane's goal-kicking woes should they look to secure him.
