Culley subbed out as Eagles' injury woes continue

The 20-year-old injured his right knee in a marking contest with Tigers defender Nathan Broad and slumped to the turf.

Culley stayed down for several minutes before hobbling off the field with the assistance of trainers as play was held up by the umpires.

Eagles substitute Zane Trew immediately started warming up on the boundary line and was called into the game before quarter-time.

Culley has played nine senior games since joining West Coast during last year's mid-season rookie draft.

The last-placed Eagles are already operating without a long list of injured players, including stars such as Nic Naitanui, Luke Shuey, Elliot Yeo, Jamie Cripps, Jeremy McGovern and Liam Ryan.
