Port Adelaide ruckman Peter Ladhams has reportedly nominated Sydney as his preferred landing spot for 2022.
Despite being contracted for next season, the 23-year-old was granted permission to assess his options elsewhere for the final year of his contract.

Line put through Dockers’ NSW return
Negotiations between the Dockers and Giants in regards to Rory Lobb look to be finished.
Lobb was linked to a shock return to Greater Western Sydney last week, with the Giants showing some interest in luring the 28-year-old back to New South Wales.
Lobb remains contracted to Fremantle for a further two seasons on a reported $700,000-per-year, which would have made negotiations between the two clubs difficult.

Tigers the latest club to move for Roos’ Pick 1
Richmond are the latest club to have made a move for North Melbourne's prized first-round selection of Pick 1 for November's National Draft.
The Kangaroos recently fended off a mammoth bid by Adelaide for Pick 1, with the Tigers the latest keen suitor to table a godfather offer to the Arden Street club.
According to AFL.com.au's Callum Twomey, Richmond packaged young tall Callum Coleman-Jones along with Picks 7, 15 and 26 in exchange for Pick 1, an offer the Kangaroos refused.

New twist in Hill trade saga
The circumstances surrounding GWS small forward Bobby Hill's likely defection to Essendon have gained further clarity following a Monday morning report from Fox Sports' Tom Morris.
While news of the contracted Giants' desire to join the Dons was made public on Sunday afternoon, this announcement came just months after the Western Australian stated that he was seeking an extension to remain in Sydney's west.
According to further points put forth by Morris, it has been suggested that Hill's past commitment to staying in shape over the off-season had been called into question after previously returning to the Giants' fold with a lack of fitness.
Bulldogs veteran tipped to remain at the Kennel
Western bulldogs vice-captain Mitch Wallis is set to remain at Whitten Oval for the 2022 season.
Wallis was placed out-of-favour at the Dogs this year, playing just the six matches as Luke Beveridge's side steered toward a Grand Final finish.
The 28-year-old now looks destined to remain in the blue, red and white, with 7 News' Mitch Cleary reporting that Wallis has pledged his allegiance to the Bulldogs for next year.
Contracted Hawk doubles down on stance with social media post
Contracted Hawks star Chad Wingard has doubled down on his situation this Trade Period following reports linking him to Greater Western Sydney this off-season.
Wingard's future, along with the likes of Tom Mitchell, Jack Gunston and Jaeger O'Meara, has been heavily speculated in recent days following a letter sent to members by club president Jeff Kennett last Thursday.
The 28-year-old posted to social media once again on Monday in expressing his loyalty to the Hawks, with his latest post including Leonardo DiCaprio's character from The Wolf of Wall Street once again along with a sound bite of The Show Goes On by Lupe Fiasco.
Stengle reportedly picks home for 2022
Despite many rival clubs circling, Tyson Stengle is understood to have picked Geelong as his desired club for 2022.
Having previously been delisted, the Cats are likely to sign Stengle as a free agent. This allows Geelong to add some younger ready-made talent to their list, without having to sacrifice their current draft hand.
The new signing will be Stengle's third AFL stint, having previously spent time at Richmond and Adelaide. He has only managed to play 16 games throughout his first five years in the league.

Crows table new offer to Swans for Dawson deal
The Adelaide Crows have reportedly sent through another trade offer to Sydney in the hopes of landing Jordan Dawson, with the Demons' first-round selection heading to the Swans in a straight swap for the wingman.
The Crows acquired Melbourne's future first-round pick in a four-way trade made last week, with Sydney now considering the new offer, with the value of the trade relying on Melbourne being unable to back up this year's success.
Adelaide have offered the Demons pick with no other compensation included, according to Fox Footy's Tom Morris.
