West Coast looks set to be a major player in this year's trade and free agency space, while the Eagles also plan to have an aggressive approach for this year's AFL Draft.
Any major list calls will likely wait on the appointment of the club's next senior coach, with the Eagles' search for Adam Simpson's replacement ramping up in recent days.
Amid the hunt, new list manager Matt Clarke will be doing his best wheeling and dealing to try and pry the club's desired trade targets west, with several Western Australians already linked to the Perth club.
Ahead of the next step in West Coast's rebuild, we look at five trade options for the Eagles to consider heading into the off-season.
OTHER TRADE TARGETS: ADELAIDE, BRISBANE, CARLTON, COLLINGWOOD, ESSENDON, FREMANTLE, GEELONG, GOLD COAST, GWS, HAWTHORN, MELBOURNE, NORTH MELBOURNE, PORT ADELAIDE, RICHMOND, ST KILDA, SYDNEY
3. Riley Garcia
Much like Carroll, Garcia is an unsigned WA product who has shown enough at the top level but can't cement himself a role at selection given his place in the selection pecking order.
The 23-year-old is reportedly in the sights of several rival clubs, including West Coast, who could lure the Swan Districts product back home.
2024 has proven to be a career-best year for Garcia, who has floated between roles in midfield and the front third to offer Luke Beveridge some depth in both areas of the field.
Beveridge flagged defensive areas of Garcia's game was in need of improvement, with the premiership coach dropping his young conduit player after Round 13, with Garcia playing in just one game since - last weekend's win over Sydney, where he collected 16 disposals.
