Despite slumping to its first 0-4 start since 1989, West Coast will at least be bolstered by an improved showing against Sydney last week that helped it win its first quarter of the season.

Richmond (1-4) was also more than competitive against a finals hopeful but was left to rue a narrow defeat to St Kilda.

The Tigers missed the opportunity to claim their second win of the season and couldn't put the Saints away despite restricting them to one goal in the first half. They will be out to make the most of their chances against the under-fire Eagles with a tough run to follow.

The Tigers will be without Tim Taranto who injured his wrist at training on Friday, with the midfielder joining Jack Ross on the injury list, while Liam Baker is back after serving a one-week suspension. Hugo Ralphsmith has also been named for his first game of the year.

The winless Eagles have made just one change, with Tyler Brockman coming in for last week's debutant Loch Rawnlinson.
