West Coast is willing to trade its Pick 23 and its 2027 first-round pick to acquire a top-end selection in next week's AFL Draft.
The Eagles are looking to pair their current Pick 3 with another highly sought-after selection given the types of players available at the top end of the draft.
Prospects like Arki Butler, Gus Teixeira, Harry Van Hattum, Heath Mellody, Ethan Drever, Mitch Harris, Will Malady, Leo Steed, Sam Gayfer, Clancy Snell and Lochie Burrows all loom as top-15 selections in the open pool.
Dougie Cochrane, Cody Walker, Ethan Matthews and Caylen Murray are all club-tied talents expected to go early in the draft.
West Coast is hoping clubs bite at its offer, according to AFL Media.
Port Adelaide holds two selections inside the top 12, but they will need 2700 points minus 412 of deficit to welcome Cochrane, who is tipped to go Pick 1. The father-son product could cost the club 2,288 points if they use the full amount of the allowed deficit.
If the Power hold onto Pick 7, they would need to find another 745 points, which is around Pick 20.
Melbourne and St Kilda both have a pair of top-16 selections the Eagles could target.
West Coast's consideration for its 2027 first-round pick comes in a heavily Tasmania-influenced draft, with the Devils holding seven of the top 13 selections, four of which need to be traded.
The club's latest potential trade move comes as the Eagles are also considering bolstering their 2027 hand to assist their pursuit of Sydney star and Western Australian Chad Warner.
Warner comes out of contract next year as a restricted free agent, which will likely see the Swans force a trade in order to keep him or cash in on his departure.
The Eagles were reported to be willing to offer up a pick in the 20s once they netted a secondary pick in that range due to the compensation for the likely pick slide for Cochrane and Walker.
“I don't know if we turn to it or if it's always sort of been a part of it,” West Coast list boss Matt Clarke told AFL Trade Radio in October.
“We're always looking at those guys when they're coming out of contract, free agents all over the place.
“Obviously, Chad is very happy with where he is in Sydney at the moment. We will continue to assess him.
“If there's a link between Trent and Chad, that's great. I am sure Chad will make up his mind as to what he wants to do."
