Freo's list manager says he expects Ballantyne to stay a Docker.

"We haven't had real strong interest or indications from any club that he'll be going there.

"We'll see what unfolds over the coming 10 days … I think he'll be playing for Fremantle again and we'd be really happy with that."

Jack Darling is a required player.

Unless it was reported on in the article about Coxy moving to midfield coach, Hickmott has also moved to a midfield coaching role and Pratt has moved up to Backs and Team Defence.

So, congrats to Hick and Pratt!

Every trade ever done by west coast

http://m.westcoasteagles.com.au/news/2016-10-21/west-coasts-trade-history

That was interesting reading. Quite a few trades that look like "lose/lose" and a few "Win/win" trades in there (I would call the Judd trade win/win or perhaps slightly in Eagles favour.)
