West Coast's pre-season campaign kicked off in the suburbs of Adelaide against the Crows, with the Eagles picking a young and well-below-strength side first up and Adam Simpson handing the reins to Justin Longmuir for the game. The inexperienced Eagles started brightly but were soon blown off the park, with the Crows holding them scoreless in the second term and eventually winning by triple figures. Among few positives for West Coast were the play of rookie-listed midfielder Corey Adamson and former defender Jamie Bennell in a new role as a goalsneak.
