West Coast needs three things to continue improving its list, according to WA journalist Digby Beacham.

The Eagles have secured four wins to this point of 2026, which is a quantum leap from last year's effort of one solitary victory.

But how do they keep improving? Who are some trade targets?

Beacham, speaking on Zero Hanger's The Outer Wing powered by TabTouch, gave some areas of correction for the club.

"There's some players who spring to mind. There's three things I think West Coast need," he said.

"They need key defenders, because at the moment we're seeing what happens when Harry Edwards, who is fronting the (AFL) concussion panel is not there, Reuben Ginbey is going to be missing for long term, is Tylar Young the answer? I'd say no. Sandy Brock has had a bit of a look at it. But they're short-changed down back. They need midfielders and they need to get in WA talent."

Chad Warner

"Where does Chad Warner want to go, if in fact he decides to come home?

"He would fill that midfield void that West Coast have got at the moment."
