The West Coast Eagles will take an unchanged line up into their blockbuster round 22 clash with Richmond at the MCG on Sunday.

Chris Masten, Josh Rotham, Jarrod Cameron & Nathan Vardy are listed as emergencies. 

For the Tigers, Sydney Stack has been left out of the side, making way for returning superstar Dustin Martin.

The Tigers have won seven straight and had the luxury of recalling Martin, who is back from soreness for an MCG blockbuster.

The Brownlow medallist replaces Stack, who will miss just his second game since making his debut in round three.  

Martin is joined in the line-up by Ivan Soldo after experienced ruck Toby Nankervis was withdrawn having seemingly battled back soreness at training on Friday.  

The Eagles and the Tigers haven’t played each other since round nine last season, where the Eagles romped to a 47-point victory at Optus Stadium.

The last time the Eagles faced off with Richmond at the MCG, however, it was the Tigers who prevailed by 11 points in round three, 2017.

West Coast Eagles coach Adam Simpson said the Tigers at the home of football was one of the toughest asks in footy.

“Their brand is pretty obvious when they’re in a good space, you can see the way they play, their system is very predictable. That’s what makes it so hard to stop,” Simpson said.

“They’re all on the same page and they’ve got reasonable health, as well. So those two or three things combined as well as some of the resilience they’ve learned over the last 12 months. And playing at the MCG. It’s a tough ask.”
