WEST Coast hosts Port Adelaide in the sole night match on Saturday.

The Eagles continued their steady improvement in recent weeks as they proved to be a class above the embattled Essendon on the way to a second win in as many games on home turf.

The Eagles can take more steps towards speeding up their rebuild with back-to-back matches at Optus Stadium coming against Power and Roos sides that they beat earlier in the year before heading into a bye. 

Port Adelaide returns from a much-needed opportunity to recharge across a bye after four consecutive defeats were capped by a frustrating loss to Carlton.

The Power have mostly been competitive against even the top sides, but now need to start turning those performances into wins against teams like the Eagles to have any hope of pushing for a wildcard spot.
