The Eagles lost their spot in the top eight after Sunday’s eight-point loss to St Kilda at Etihad Stadium – a game they led by 22 points in the last term.
With three rounds remaining, Adam Simpson’s men are in ninth spot and one of four teams with a 10-9 record.
Their run home – especially the last fortnight – is arguably the toughest of the four finals hopefuls log-jammed from eighth to 11th on the ladder.
It starts with a winnable home game against Carlton at Domain Stadium on Saturday night.
Then comes games against the two premiership favourites – GWS and Adelaide – in consecutive weeks.
West Coast snatched a win in their last visit to Spotless Stadium late last season, but that was thanks to injured ruckman Nic Naitanui’s last-gap goal.
