West Coast skipper Luke Shuey is set to make his AFL return as a forward with coach Adam Simpson forced to juggle the magnets no thanks to the club's ever-increasing injury toll.
Shuey has missed the last two games because of a hamstring injury and he will be on limited minutes in Sunday's clash with GWS at Giants Stadium.
West Coast enter the match without 11 of their best 22 players, including Nic Naitanui, Dom Sheed, Elliot Yeo, Oscar Allen, Liam Ryan, Shannon Hurn, Josh Kennedy and Willie Rioli.
