Injuries are piling up on the West Coast, with star Elliot Yeo joining Jake Waterman and Liam Duggan on the sidelines as they prepare to face St Kilda at Marvel Stadium on Saturday.

Yeo was listed as one of four absences for the Eagles, along with Duggan (concussion), Waterman (knee) and Tyler Brockman (ankle), who took a six-day break following their loss to Brisbane last weekend.

Despite the loss of Waterman, interim coach Jarrad Schofield surprisingly did not use the 203 cm tall draft striker Archer Reid and will instead compete with a smaller attacking line than his predecessor.

Speedster Jack Petruccelle makes his first appearance since Round 15 due to a thigh injury, while Campbell Chesser, Josh Rotham and Jai Culley are also newcomers.

Archer Reid, who has yet to make his debut, and championship hero Dom Sheed are the accompanying emergency runners.

Experienced Jack Darling remains sidelined after being left out of the squad for the first time in his 293-game career ahead of the clash with Brisbane.

The Eagles have changed their tactics from earlier in the season, when they played with three big forwards – Waterman, Darling and Oscar Allen – plus one ruckman and one reserve ruckman.
