The West Coast have suffered a last minute blow ahead of the clash with Carlton at Optus Stadium tomorrow with lively forward Jamie Cripps entering AFL health and safety protocols.

Cripps has been in strong form over the last month and the Eagles will miss his gut running efforts as a high half-forward.

With the premiership star ruled out, young defender Luke Foley moves from the emergency list into the starting 22, with midfielder Xavier O’Neill added to the emergencies.
