    WEST Coast coach Andrew McQualter concedes his team may have been too young in the midfield in a horror loss to Carlton, with the Eagles searching for the right balance of youth and hardened bodies during a winless start to the season. The Eagles' engine room has taken a hit, with Tim Kelly out of form and likely to remain in the WAFL, Elliot Yeo injured, Harley Reid building fitness at half-back and Liam Duggan also moved behind the ball.

    WEST Coast great and new head of football John Worsfold remains confident the Eagles' rebuild will click quickly in the next 12 months if the club stays the course by getting as much experience as possible into young players.
