West Coast has been battered and bruised this season, finishing last with a record of three wins and 20 losses and a percentage of just 53%. It's been a hard year to watch the Eagles, who suffered multiple 100+ point losses.

But how can the Eagles turn this around and get back to their best? Coming into this off-season with the first pick, you would expect them to come in all guns blazing, but as intentions to rebuild via the draft seem like a promising way to get back on track, they should also look at the players available on the market.

As injuries have slowly become a large problem for West Coast, here are our five trade targets for the Eagles to consider.

4. Brynn Teakle

Georgiades isn't the only Port Adelaide player to feature on our list, with Teakle following suit. The lack of appearances for the senior side has raised an opportunity to return to Western Australia.

With four appearances out of six for this season, the premiership contenders have opted to stick with as much of the same lineup as possible to ensure consistency in their run to September. With not much sample size, he has averaged 9.7 disposals, 1.8 clearances, and 5.5 hitouts to advantage, wit Teakle another to battle with injuries while also being trialled as a defender in 2023.

The dynamic ruck could be another crucial piece to the Eagles' rebuild. A ruck that can also participate as a forward or back may give West Coast more flexibility in their team alongside Bailey Williams.
