The Western Bulldogs will be without midfielder Scott West for another week, with the seven-time best and fairest winner failing to recover from a knee injury that kept him from playing on the weekend.

Coach Rodney Eade said West would miss again but should be fine for the Bulldogs round six clash against West Coast.

Captain Brad Johnson walked laps at training on Wednesday with what Eade described as a corked thigh.

Eade said his skipper is "not 100 per cent" but is still expcected to play against Richmond on Sunday.
