West Coast coach Adam Simpson says he'll try to keep things as normal as possible as the Eagles prepare for an emotion-charged clash with Adelaide on Saturday night.
Simpson said players and staff at the club were still mourning the loss of Adelaide coach Phil Walsh, who worked as an assistant with the Eagles for five years between 2009-2013.
Saturday's match at Domain Stadium will be the first time the Crows have played since Walsh's death, and Simpson said West Coast would be treating the occasion with the utmost respect.
"It's a real challenge for everyone," he told Perth radio station 6PR.
"I've talked to our staff about players who have been affected by the tragedy.
"We've got to respect the situation. It will be business as usual in terms of how we prepare and plan.
"But it's going to feel a bit different.
"For Adelaide, it's their first opportunity to represent the Club after the tragedy. It's going to be filled with emotion.
"We want to win, but we're also here to respect the whole situation."
The Eagles sit in second spot following their 10-3 start to the year, while Adelaide (7-5) is clinging to eighth spot after splitting the points with Geelong in Round 14.
