Covid has taken an 'unprecedented' toll on West Coast, with coach Adam Simpson forced to miss Saturday's clash with Brisbane after testing positive for the virus and only 22 players available to the club.
On Thursday the Eagles confirmed eight staff and players are in health and safety protocols, with an incredible 21 footballers ruled out due to injury or Covid-19-related absences.
Simpson's assistant, Matthew Knights, will take over as head coach for the game against the Lions.
