The Blues' off-season plans will be heavily impacted by Tom De Koning's looming contract call amid strong interest from St Kilda.

If the Carlton ruckman were to leave Princes Park, the Blues would likely be in search of a new ruckman and would be loaded with a stronger draft hand they could potentially take to market.

Collingwood's Darcy Cameron has been flagged as a potential target for Carlton, while Adelaide's Reilly O'Brien and Fremantle's Sean Darcy have also been mentioned in relation to the Blues' potential moves.

Defensive reinforcements have been identified as a part of Carlton's potential off-season plans, with GWS interceptor Leek Aleer and Port Adelaide runner Miles Bergman both linked to the Blues.
