Eagles confident Naitanui will play

West Coast will be aiming to bounce back from last week's loss to the Bulldogs when they face Adelaide in Perth on Saturday.

West Coast coach Adam Simpson is confident Nic Naitanui will be fit to play in Saturday night's AFL clash with Adelaide at Domain Stadium.

Naitanui has been named in the side despite battling Achilles tendon soreness, and Simpson says the 2012 All-Australian will play barring any late setbacks.

Adelaide are the highest-scoring team in the competition, but Simpson isn't expecting Saturday's match to turn into a shootout.
