Eagles fail fitness test

WEST Coast coach Adam Simpson concedes his side aren’t fit or fast enough.

Simpson is firmly in the spotlight after the Eagles’ shock loss to Collingwood last Sunday that dropped them to ninth on the table.

The fourth-year coach insists he’s up for the fight as he bids to re-energise his squad over the next 12 months, with the futures of veterans like Mark LeCras and Matt Priddis unclear.

West Coast will start as hot favourites on Sunday against Brisbane in Perth.
