WEST Coast has been forced into a bizarre late change for Saturday night's Western Derby, with Brady Hough out of the match just minutes before the centre bounce, adding to the earlier late withdrawal of Jack Petruccelle.
Both players are out of the team due to illness, with Jack Williams rushed into the side right on the opening bounce as Hough's replacement.
Speedster Petruccelle, who has been important since moving into the midfield in recent weeks, has been replaced by defender Luke Foley.
Foley has played eight games this season and last featured in round 13, recently returning from a hamstring injury via the WAFL.
The Dockers will go in unchanged, with midfielder Neil Erasmus selected as the substitute. The Eagles have named Greg Clark as their substitute.

Carlton v Melbourne at the MCG, 7.25pm AEST
Saturday night at the MCG serves up one of the games of the season as the Blues take on the Demons.
Carlton is on a seven-game winning streak, Melbourne has saluted in its last five outings, making these the two form sides of the competition at the moment, and both still have plenty to play for.
If the Blues win finals look like a lock, if they lose they're right back on the brink. The Demons need the points or a top-two finish - and a flag campaign - gets a whole lot harder.
Michael Voss is going with the same 22 that brought home the bikkies last round, while Simon Goodwin is bringing back a pair of big guns in Brodie Grundy and Clayton Oliver.
However, the loss of Harrison Petty is a disruption to a forward structure the Demons just can't quite get right.
