Tall defender Harry Edwards and midfielder Luke Edwards will join Liam Ryan in returning to the West Coast Eagles line-up for the clash with Gold Coast on Sunday.

Harry Edwards, who has endured more than his share of injury concerns in the last couple of years, will replace suspended key defender Tom Barrass.

The athletic 200cm back man played just two games last year, in rounds nine and 10, but appears to have benefitted from a trip to Doha last year with fellow defender Jeremy McGovern and midfielder Elliot Yeo.

He has been able to play a number of WAFL games this season, after another pre-season setback when he broke a finger in a practice match. He has now played 30 senior games and will be looking to maximise this opportunity.

He was sidelined by wrist and adductor injuries last year.

Ryan, who last played senior football in the round three derby against Fremantle last year when he suffered a serious hamstring injury, returns to action to fill the void left by young forward Noah Long who has a hip injury.

Luke Edwards returns after missing the derby with a concussion.

Also making the flight to the Gold Coast are in-and-under midfielder Jai Culley and youngster Harvey Johnston, who continues to press for a senior debut.
