West Coast lost a wealth of experience with the retirements of Matt Priddis and Sam Butler along with journeyman ruckman Jonathan Giles and one-year Eagles Sam Mitchell and Drew Petrie , and the delisting of veterans Sharrod Wellingham and Josh Hill . The only arrival with previous AFL experience was former Power midfielder Brendon Ah Chee . The Eagles traded aggressively to acquire a handful of second-round picks, and went tall with their first two picks before taking livewire Subiaco forward Liam Ryan .
