West Coast coach Andrew McQualter will seek clarification from the AFL about their head injury assessment (HIA) protocols after the Eagles were left down a man early in the one-point loss to North Melbourne.
Eagles wingman Hamish Davis was left clearly concussed after being ridden to the turf in a tackle from North's Paul Curtis in the first quarter of Saturday's match in Perth.
Curtis has been handed a three-match ban for the incident, with the tackle deemed careless conduct, severe impact and high contact.
