Ruckman Dean Cox will miss West Coast’s clash with Adelaide after failing a concussion test.
Cox was controversially knocked out by Richmond forward Tyrone Vickery in Richmond’s win over the Eagles last Friday night. Vickery was suspended for a month as a result of the incident.
Cox, who still travelled with the team as ruck coach, has been replaced by South Australian big man Scott Lycett. Forwards Josh Hill and Jamie Cripps, and utility Jamie Bennell have also been recalled to the team. Defender Brad Sheppard (ankle) will miss the match through injury, while Ashley Smith and Simon Tunbridge have been omitted.
Midfielder Luke Shuey has recovered from an ankle complaint, while Sam Butler has been named despite a sore calf.
