GWS' list is currently in a state of flux, and there's uncertainty around some familiar names, but that shouldn't stop the club from luring rival players to west of Sydney.
The Giants have three key forwards out of contract, and are in desperate need to bolster its ruck stocks, especially given Richmond is interested in Nick Madden.
Some versatility is needed on their list, while top-end forward craft and hard-running utilities would fit the bill for Adrian Caruso and his player acquisition team.
2Max Ramsden (Hawthorn)
The out-of-contract Hawk would be a bargain-base purchase, and given the squeeze on at Dingley, it wouldn't be difficult to lure him.
Mitch Lewis and Calsher Dear are also out of contract, and are ahead of Ramsden in the key forward hierarchy. The heavy interest in Ben King, who hasn't re-committed to Gold Coast, is also a point of consideration.
Ramsden can play multiple roles, mainly as a mobile key forward but also pinch-hit in the ruck. And there's two reasons why he'd suit the Giants.
Jesse Hogan, Jake Riccardi and Max Gruzewski are all out of contract, and despite having contract offers in front of them, there is a world where at least one departs.
Gruzewski is the tip given the lack of senior opportunities he receives under Adam Kingsley, which has nothing to do with his ability to play at the level.
The Giants will also need to bolster their ruck stocks, and with Richmond interested in Nick Madden, there's a vacancy in the role.
Kieren Briggs has battled wilfully as the No.1 man, but the new rules haven't favoured the bash-and-crash nature of his game.
Ramsden's athleticism and rawness would be seen favourably in GWS' eyes, and his versatility may fill a few needs for the club.
