Eagles not scared of Roos' attack in AFL

The Eagles have been undermanned in defence all season, but Will Schofield says they have enough weapons to counter Drew Petrie, Jarrad Waite and Ben Brown.

West Coast defender Will Schofield says his team are well prepared to tackle North Melbourne's tall trio of forwards in Saturday night's preliminary final at Domain Stadium.

The Eagles have been undermanned in defence all season, but Schofield says they have enough weapons to counter the likes of Drew Petrie, Jarrad Waite and Ben Brown.

Kangaroos defender Robbie Tarrant is expected to play on Saturday despite missing last week's win over Sydney because of a groin injury.
