West Coast coach Andrew McQualter will seek clarification from the AFL about their head injury assessment (HIA) protocols after the Eagles were left down a man early in the one-point loss to North Melbourne.
Eagles wingman Hamish Davis was left clearly concussed after being ridden to the turf in a tackle from North's Paul Curtis in the first quarter.
Given Davis' arms were pinned in the tackle, Curtis could be suspended over the incident.
