Summary There's no way the Eagles will repeat their round-one win over Brisbane this time around. The team has lost form, confidence and now midfielder Daniel Kerr for a brainless off-the-ball hit on Richmond's Matthew White. They will also be without defenders Adam Hunter (shoulder) and Brett Jones (knee). The Lions aren't travelling first class either, with successive losses, but they are doing enough to keep in the hunt for the final eight. Jonathan Brown and Daniel Bradshaw are set to shrug off the West Coast defence and can look forward to being regularly fed from the middle by Luke Power, Simon Black and Co.
Key West Coast have descended into a rabble and with the loss of Kerr will be even less resistant to Brisbane's pressure.
Tip Brisbane by 50 points
