2004-05 offseason

West Coast went all out to bring Adelaide tagger Tyson Stenglein home, eventually giving up its first two picks for the Subiaco product. The club got itself back into the middle stages of the draft by trading a slowing Chad Morrison home to Victoria as well as former high draft picks Callum Chambers and Paul Johnson. The move paid off, with Matt Rosa and Mark LeCras picked up with the selections obtained for Johnson and Morrison respectively.
