West Coast coach Adam Simpson has been left with two headaches this week, and neither are an easy fix.Simpsons first headache is how to replace star ruckman Nic Naitanui - both this season and next.His second dilemma is finding a way to stop the Crows star-studded forward line in Friday nights crunch clash at Adelaide Oval.Scott Lycett will lead the ruck against the Crows, while the Eagles flew back-up options Mitch Brown and Jonathan Giles to Adelaide.Simpson says fans will have to wait until team selection on Thursday night before discovering what ruck combination hell use against the Crows.But finding a longer-term solution to replace Naitanui has also been on Simpsons mind.Simpson has brought forward a list-management meeting to discuss the clubs options.And although the third-year coach isnt willing to name names just yet, luring homesick GWS big man Rory Lobb to the Eagles could be a viable option.But for the moment Simpson is focusing on the Crows.Sixth-placed West Coast need to win Fridays match in order to secure a home final.If they lose, the Eagles will likely slip to seventh - consigning them to an away elimination final.Adelaide are the best attacking side in the competition, averaging 115 points per game.ddddddddddddEddie Betts has led the way with 65 goals, while Josh Jenkins (59), Taylor Walker (43), Tom Lynch (36) and Mitch McGovern (29) have also been important contributors.West Coast were sublime in nullifying Hawthorns midfield strengths last week, and Simpson knows theyll need to do a similar job if they are to cut off supply to Adelaides star-studded attack.Theyve got the toughest forward line in the comp to play against, Simpson said.Theyre all dangerous.Some experts have written off West Coasts flag chances in the wake of Naitanuis season-ending knee injury.But Simpson thinks otherwise, despite Naitanuis recent heroics against GWS and Hawthorn.Theres been a lot of negative talk on the back of Nic and the fact that our season is over and next season is over because hes not going to be available, Simpson said.I dont buy into that.Ill be really disappointed if we cant advance any further without Nic.Itd be ridiculous of me to think that we cant win without and our players dont believe that either.The Crows will be without suspended midfielder Rory Sloane for Fridays match.
