Eagles superstar Josh Kennedy has predicted a return to the team of Dom Sheed, who had 37 touches in the WAFL at the weekend.

He said West Coast, struggling at the foot of the AFL ladder with a 1-11 record, need to improve their defensive attitude to avoid being blown away early, a common trait for the club this season.

"Being able to control a stampede early on, comes down to a bit of mindset, and making sure we're all switched on and working together," he told Gareth Parker in his weekly segment on 6PR Breakfast.
