The West Coast Eagles' ruck woes continue unabated, with Scott Lycett joining Nic Naitanui on the sidelines - having been dropped for disciplinary reasons.

Eagles coach Adam Simpson told media at Perth Airport on Thursday that Lycett would not make the trip to Brisbane this weekend because of his behaviour on Saturday night after the Eagles' loss to Adelaide

WEST COAST STATEMENT:
Ruckman Scott Lycett has been left out of the team to play the Brisbane Lions at the Gabba on Saturday because of disciplinary action.

Lycett, who was expected to carry the load in the absence of injured star Nic Naitanui, failed to meet the standards set by the club’s leadership group, players and coaches after the disappointing loss to Adelaide last week.

“We are very disappointed that Scott has let the club down, but the behaviours we ignore are the behaviours we accept,” senior coach Adam Simpson said.

“We have standards and values that we expect of each other and Scott, unfortunately, failed to meet them.”

The timing of Lycett’s indiscretion, with Naitanui sidelined for 6-8 weeks after under-going Achilles surgery during the week, means that former GWS and Essendon ruckman Jonathan Giles will make his senior debut for the club.

Recruited through last year’s trade period, Giles has been impressive around the playing group in his first year and will carry much of the ruck responsibility for the Eagles in an important game against the Lions.
