WEST Coast has made four forced changes ahead of its Friday night match against Geelong as it returns from an interrupted run.
Evie Gooch will miss through suspension, while Amber Ward, Kellie Gibson and Courtney Rowley are out due to health and safety protocols.
The Eagles missed two scheduled matches over the last week as they didn't have enough players available to field a team.
Captain Emma Swanson returns from a week on the sidelines due to suspension, and the quick Niamh Kelly makes her way back from groin soreness which saw her miss the Eagles' round three match against Adelaide.
Ashlee Atkins and Tayla Bresland will also make their return to the side.
Geelong has made just the one change, bringing Nina Morrison into the side after she missed last week with a calf complaint. Madisen Maguire has been omitted to make way.
