The West Coast Eagles take on premiers Hawthorn at home on Friday night.

The Eagles are locked in a battle at the bottom on the top eight and win over the Hawks would give them such much needed breathing room.

The Hawks have one of the most potent forward lines and Eagles coach Adam Simpson knows that while the club will need to do plenty to limit the output of Cyril Rioli (pictured) , the Hawks superstar is only one of a number of threats the Eagles will need to counter if they’re to get a much needed win.
