WEST Coast will have to stop a rampaging Greater Western Sydney if it is to record its first win of the season at Optus Stadium.

The Eagles kept pace with Port Adelaide early last week but were ultimately flattered by their opponents' wayward kicking for goal in a 50-point defeat.

It doesn't get any easier for the Eagles this week with the high-flying Giants to come, but they will be buoyed by the return to form and fitness of veterans Elliot Yeo and Jeremy McGovern, as well as the debut from No.1 pick Harley Reid.

Greater Western Sydney backed up its storming start to the season with a comfortable win over North Melbourne.

The League-leading Giants might face another less-fancied side in West Coast this week but will need little reminder that they failed to beat the same team at the same venue and in the same round last year, as they look to seal a 3-0 start ahead of their first bye.

GWS has made just one change with James Peatling replacing Nick Haynes, with Peatling to start as the sub. The Eagles have dropped Andrew Gaff and Alex Witherden with Oscar Allen (knee) sidelined, welcoming Ryan Maric (who will be the sub), Harry Barnett and Jamaine Jones into their side.
