The Giants don't manage to lure too many players to Sydney's west from rival AFL clubs, but they have managed to get the best out of some bargain buys over the years.
Spearhead Jesse Hogan and fellow ex-Demon Toby Bedford are the leading examples, with both players holding down critical roles in last year's preliminary final finish under coach Adam Kingsley.
Similar moves might need to be made at the end of the 2024 season as GWS see their premiership prospects sliding as we enter the back half of the year.
So who could the Giants chase come the end of the year? Perhaps a lockdown defender and some more key position assistance?
We name five players for GWS to potentially chase this off-season...

5. Tim Membrey
A move back to NSW for the Saints veteran?
Membrey has spent most of the past decade in the red, white and black after seeking a move from Sydney to Moorabbin at the end of the 2014 season following his delisting.
Currently unable to break back into Ross Lyon's side and without a deal for next year, Membrey could be a suitable target for the Giants.
A senior supporting forward who plays taller than what his 188cm suggests, Membrey could re-find some spark with a change in environment, with GWS managing to get the most out of some of their forwards.
Eligible for free agency, the three-time Saints leading goalkicker would come at very little cost to the Giants.
