The West Coast Eagles could make up to five changes to the team for the match against Brisbane at Optus Stadium on Sunday.

The Eagles have added a handful of fresh names to the line-up as they prepare to go into battle minus coach Adam Simpson after he and the club mutually agreed to a parting of ways on Tuesday.

All-Australian defender Jeremy McGovern has been ruled out with a punctured lung and young wingman Campbell Chesser has been omitted – the only confirmed changes at this stage.

The final composition of the 23-man team will be completed tomorrow afternoon.

Tall defender Harry Edwards has been selected at centre half-back while midfielders Zane Trew, Jai Culley and Luke Edwards have been named on an extended bench alongside utility player Ryan Maric.

Also listed on the eight-man bench are Tyler Brockman, veteran forward Jack Darling and swingman Jamaine Jones. They all played in last week’s 54-point loss to Melbourne at the MCG.
