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:ย ADELAIDE,ย BRISBANE,ย CARLTON,ย COLLINGWOOD, ESSENDON,ย FREMANTLE, GEELONG, GOLD COAST, GWS, HAWTHORN, MELBOURNE, NORTH MELBOURNE, PORT ADELAIDE, RICHMOND, ST KILDA, SYDNEY

4. Alex Davies

If midfield depth is an area of interest for the Eagles, Davies could be a cheaper trade option who could have an instant impact from 2025.

The Suns Academy graduate has found it hard to hold onto a role in Damien Hardwick's midfield pack, mostly due to the standing of star quartet Noah Anderson, Touk Miller, Matt Rowell and Sam Flanders.

His return game in Round 18 against Port Adelaide was easily his best for the year, however a three-game suspension for forceful front-on contact has hurt his playing prospects for the final rounds of the season.

Davies had 20 disposals, eight clearances and 12 tackles in the win over the Power to show his value at the top level but remains without a deal for next year and could be better suited elsewhere.
