The Cats have lacked a dominant big man in recent seasons due to injuries and have finally got McIntosh on the park after a year battling Achilles and knee problems. 

This season, they've had the luxury of playing the former Kangaroo with Simpson and tall utility Mark Blicavs, who has also played all three games but has been substitute twice. 

With the Eagles fond of playing big men Dean Cox, Nic Naitanui and Callum Sinclair together this season, Scott is pleased his own tall brigade has come together well. 

"It probably means we can take them head on more than we have in the past," Scott said. 

"When you take on two really good ruckmen, or three really good ruckmen in West Coast's case and you don't really have a genuine ruckman yourself, then you spend a lot of time trying to mitigate the damage.

"While we have a healthy respect for their guys, we've also got a lot of faith in our big guys as well and we think we can at least break even at a lot of those contests.

"That gives you a better chance to set up the way you would like at ground level."

Scott said the Cats' midfielders were enjoying playing in the presence of their own big men as opposed to setting up at the feet of the opposition's. 

He said it meant they could be more proactive at stoppages rather than reacting to what the other team did. 

He added they would remain flexible with their use of the talls and wouldn't always play the three together. 

Scott conceded the Cats were "still a bit off" despite their undefeated status with wins over Adelaide, the Brisbane Lions and Collingwood. 

He said they would face a West Coast outfit that featured more flexibility than last year on Saturday night at Simonds Stadium, with the Eagles capitalising on their "tall timber" and their dangerous forward group. 

"Their pre-season form was outstanding and they've changed the way they play a little bit, which always happens with a new coach," he said. 

"I think everyone has been aware for a long time they have some great personnel.

"They probably haven't had it on the field as often as they would have liked but their strengths are very, very hard to combat.

"They've got some unique players in the competition, they haven't played down [in Geelong] for a while so that's going to be difficult for them but their form has been outstanding and we would have thought they're one of those teams contending for that top-four position."

Scott said Corey Enright would train lightly on Tuesday but the jury was still out on whether he would be available after missing Saturday night's win over the Magpies with ankle injury. 

"He's better than he was on the weekend and he was quite close to playing so that's a good sign," he said. 

"Our medicos have been pretty clear this is the type of injury that can get pretty good pretty quickly but the last 10 per cent can take a long time.

"I hesitate to be too emphatic about his position."
