West Coast lost a large chunk of its 2006 premiership side, with Wirrpanda, Fletcher, Hunter and Stenglein retiring and Mark Seaby being traded along with veteran Brent Staker.
The Eagles picked up local boy Brad Sheppard in the top 10 and went for experience in the rookie draft, selecting WAFL stars Andrew Strijk and Ashton Hams as well as former Richmond player Jarrad Oakley-Nicholls.
