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
5. More early draft picks
While there could be multiple players who land at West Coast this off-season from other clubs, the Eagles' priority is likely to focus on acquiring the best young talent they can get access to.
Currently holding one first-round selection for this year's National Draft, the Eagles should be looking to at least double their hand for the opening night of the draft through the trade period.
That may mean they part ways with a senior player or two, with the likes of Tom Barrass, Jake Waterman and Liam Ryan perhaps the names that may be dispensible to a degree who could pocket them a first-round pick.
Barrass may demand a pair of first-round selections on the open market, while many clubs will hold Waterman in high stead given the lack of star key forward talent potentially on offer.
Ryan's value may not be as high as the others, but a club currently contending could be prepared to part with a top-30 selection for the livewire forward.
