West Coast will have one final chance to do their former coach proud on Sunday afternoon, coming up against a Brisbane outfit who will shoot into double chance calculations with an away win.
The Eagles (3-13, 69.1%) are expecting to give one final lion-hearted effort for former coach Adam Simpson, who departed the club just five days ago.
Meanwhile the visiting Lions (9-1-6, 120.4%) will remarkably jump into the top four with a win in Perth, showing just how tight the race for finals is this year.

Interim Eagles coach made his first big call in the hot seat, dropping premiership forward Jack Darling – as well as Josh Rotham and Campbell Chesser.
Jeremy McGovern (injured) also won’t play, with Harry Edwards, Luke Edwards, Zane Trew and Ryan Maric the quartet’s replacements.
Brisbane made just two changes for the trip, Darragh Joyce and Shadeau Brain recalled in place of injured defensive duo Brandon Starcevich and Jack Payne.
The match gets underway at 4:40pm AEST from Optus Stadium.
Watch it live on Fox Footy (channel 504), streaming on Kayo or via Hubbl from 4pm AEST.
