West Coast Eagles: Form and Statistics

West Coast defender Rhett Bazzo is on the plane to Adelaide and looks set to play just his second game in two years. He may replace Sandy Brock. Tim Kelly wants to break back into the Eagles' midfield after being pushed out for the next generation. It's a big factor behind his decision to play WAFL this weekend. West Coast is resigned to being without Elliot Yeo for the rest of the season. Jeremy McGovern has announced his retirement from the AFL. Scott Pendlebury has received the full 10 votes for his best on ground performance against the West Coast Eagles in round 16, after the error from the voting system when they were incorrectly given to Harry Perryman.

West Coast Eagles: Team News and Lineup

West Coast co-captain Oscar Allen will be sidelined after scans revealed he had suffered calf and Achilles tendon damage in Sunday's loss to Carlton at Optus Stadium. The Eagles first suspected Allen had been struck down by a plantar injury when he collapsed behind play, requiring assistance from two trainers to leave the ground in the final quarter. Scans revealed minor achilles tendon damage as well as a left calf issue; however, the club has yet to put a timeframe on Allen's return.

Port Adelaide Power vs West Coast Eagles Match Prediction 13 July 2025

Brisbane scored seven goals in a row. Three Port Adelaide players left the game early. This was too much for the Power to handle. Sam Powell-Pepper kicked a long goal. Port Adelaide started the game well. However, injuries have hurt Port badly this year. The forward line has been hit especially hard. Now, Sam Powell-Pepper joins the injury list. The Rooch has heard news about coaching changes. A former Crow and premiership star might join Port Adelaide. He could take an assistant coaching role. West Coast made a big change last year. They parted ways with coach Adam Simpson after 11 years. Simpson led the Eagles to two Grand Finals. They lost to Hawthorn in 2015. Then they beat Collingwood in 2018. West Coast's recent form has been poor. They have won just eight of their past 57 games. The past two weeks brought heavy losses. Hawthorn beat them by 61 points. Melbourne won by 54 points. The club made it official just after 11 am AWST. Simpson would no longer coach the team. The West Coast will face more pain before things improve. But this is okay. They have finally started the complete rebuild they needed. I see them losing this game. Tim Kelly stands out as their best player. But I believe he needs another week in WAFL. They should bring him back for the Derby. Mid-season draftee Jacob Newton played well. He excelled when he moved into the midfield.
