Talk that West Coast could be having a big list clean out at the end of the season. Any interest here? Mackenzie could be worth a look, don't know much about McInnes but could provide ruck depth?
Dozen look good: Eagles could make 12 list changes at season’s end
GONE
Sam Mitchell, age 34: Almost certain to retire and join the club’s coaching panel.
Drew Petrie, 34: Has been valuable because of injuries to Nic Naitanui and Scott Lycett but this will be his last season. Has worked on West Coast’s AFLW bid but could return to Melbourne.
Jonathan Giles, 29: Journeyman ruckman turns 30 in January and has a significant knee issue.
Paddy Brophy, 23: Called time on his AFL adventure earlier this year to head home to Ireland.
IN SERIOUS DOUBT
Matt Priddis, 32: Has a contract for 2018 but playing on may also mean spending significant time in the WAFL. May opt to retire.
Mark LeCras, 30: Turns 31 at the end of next month and has battled hip and back problems for much of this year.
Simon Tunbridge, 24: Back playing reserves for East Perth after LARS surgery but career has been marred by ankle, knee and shoulder issues. His chance may have passed him by.
Sam Butler, 31: Sole survivor of the 2006 premiership team. Has had a couple of soft tissue injuries again this year. Time may be up.
PLAYING FOR THEIR CAREERS
Sharrod Wellingham, 29: Doesn’t have a contract and has been in the WAFL in recent weeks. Has talent but fast running out of time to show it.
Eric Mackenzie, 29: Has struggled since his 2015 knee reconstruction and finds himself on the fringes now. Touch and go.
Josh Hill, 28: If LeCras goes he may be kept but has been in and out of the team, with limited impact when in.
Fraser McInnes, 24: Club’s call on him is likely to depend on how it views its ruck stocks. Has battled for AFL games but may be kept on for depth.
