JOHN Worsfold believes Eagles captain Darren Glass ranks among the best players in West Coast's history.

Glass plays his 250th game on Friday night against the Kangaroos, and his coach, who is the only man to have captained the Eagles on more occasions, placed him in the pantheon of club greats.

"He's up there with any of the best players that have played at this club," Worsfold said.

"Glassy is right up there with them all.

"I'm not going to say which one of them rates above the other.

"I'm happy for everyone to make their own call on that.

"Everyone sees different things. Glassy's record as a player stacks up with all our best guys."

Worsfold, like his understated captain said the club would show a highlights tape of Glass' career to the players but won't be using the occasion as extra motivation for his group.

"We don't harp too much on about it other than acknowledge that he's reached a milestone and we just take a deep breath and probably reflect on how much he has added to the club."

Some are suggesting this may be the last year for the four-time All Australian, but Worsfold does not subscribe to that theory.

"I disagree, I don't think anyone is thinking this is his last year.

"Right at the moment you would definitely be saying he would be playing top line football again next year, but that doesn't mean he has to play.

"He's got to make that call."

Vice-captain Beau Waters says the influence of the Eagles skipper will be felt long after he finishes his playing career.

Glass played an influential role in changing the club's culture in the wake of last decade's drugs saga, which culminated in the sacking of Ben Cousins at the end of 2007.

West Coast implemented a raft of programs to clean up its act, but the heavy off-field focus took its toll on results as the club sank to the wooden spoon in 2010.

Glass, who took over as skipper in 2008, provided strong leadership during the dark times, and Waters said the 32-year-old's legacy will be long remembered.

"He was a big stalwart in changing our culture and turning it into the culture it is today," Waters said.

"I'm grateful and I'm sure that all the young players coming through over the next couple of generations will be quite grateful as well.

"He's a very natural leader; very charismatic. He always leads from the front."

Ahead of Friday night's crucial clash with North Melbourne, the Eagles are the closest they have been to having a full compliment of players to choose from since the start of the year.

Worsfold expects Daniel Kerr and Chris Masten to be fit to play provided they get through training.

Waters, Sam Butler, Andrew Embley are also available and Mark Nicoski and Jamie Bennell are likely to return to football from long lay-offs this week.

"It's great to see those guys who have put in a lot of hard work get back and be available to play.

"Everyone is starting to get into pretty good condition."

Worsfold said given the depth and form of the current 22, it was a luxury that the likes of Andrew Embley might have to return through the WAFL.

"He could come straight back in this week.

"But we've got the luxury of not having to bring him straight back in.

"The guys are performing pretty well.

"It may mean that he needs, a bit like what (Matt) Rosa needed, a few hit outs in the WAFL to be absolutely up and going."

Worsfold said his side was finally getting back to where they want to be.

"The progression's there. Things are coming together.

"What we really want to do is get what we think is our best team out there and keep it out there for as long as possible.

"That's when we're going to get a better feel for how well we're going to perform."
