West Coast aims to claim its third win in a row when it travels to play Gold Coast at People First Stadium on Sunday afternoon, but they’ll have to do so without Harley Reid.
The Eagles (2-4, 75.7%), who are catapulting from a stirring pair of wins against Richmond and Fremantle, chose to rest Reid after a scintillating stint of form.
Meantime, after starting 2-0, the Suns (3-3, 93.9%) look to restore their winning record following last Sunday’s hefty loss to Sydney at the SCG.
