True, the Eagles did go tall last year but Mackenzie looks like more of a defensive option and Schofield, whilst tall, shapes as a possible midfielder due to his excellent endurance. Mitch Brown is the only pure forward.
Whilst Hansen and Lynch aren't old, Mitch Brown is the only guy behind them at this stage and think West Coast would prioritise get another tall forward option.
Also, West Caost strike me as fairly well off for running defenders with Shannon Hurn, Brett Jones, Mark Nicoski, Adam Selwood, Will Schofield, Beau Waters and David Wirrpanda all more than capable.
Simpson also has the ability to ruck and could be a possible back up for Seaby and Cox.
I dont see Simpson doing much rucking at AFL level. I dont think he will be tall enough.
