The West Coast Eagles have made a cluster of changes as the match committee settled on the final composition of the team to play Brisbane at Optus Stadium on Sunday.

In a week when senior coach Adam Simpson and the club mutually parted ways, four young and emerging players have been added to the team.

Key defender Harry Edwards come into the line-up to replace the injured Jeremy McGovern while utility player Ryan Maric and midfielders Zane Trew and Luke Edwards also return.

The Eagles left out veteran forward Jack Darling, versatile defender Josh Rotham and young wingman Campbell Chesser.

Luke Edwards, Trew and Maric were named on the interchange bench alongside forward Tyler Brockman and utility Jamaine Jones. One of those five players will be the substitute.

Darling, Rotham and midfielder Jai Culley are the emergencies.
