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.

The out-of-contract Sun has been pushed from Damien Hardwick's side, and given their high-end talent, looks unlikely to resume any roles in the near future.
It was why Rogers considered his future at the end of last year.
The case for the Gold Coast academy graduate is he's clean below his knees, has a strong goal sense and brings his teammates into the game. He was also a first-round pick in 2023.
So why the Giants?
We all know GWS love their fleet-of-foot forwards who can push high up into defence but bounce straight into attack with pace, catching the opposition out.
But what's pivotal to this mode of play is composure under pressure and a skillset that encourages the dare and boldness Adam Kingsley tries to implement each week.
Rogers would also be a handy inclusion given the injury woes befalling Brent Daniels, and his struggles to get his body right.
Darcy Jones is coming back from an ACL but will be given grace to return to his best.
There's a need to be filled, and if Kingsley wants to continue with his 'orange tsunami' game style, a play for Rogers should be on the cards.
