West Coast have blamed the AFL for an embarrassing error that appeared on their website.
The Eagles are having a year from hell and sit on the bottom of the ladder with just one win for the season.

Only five days ago the The West Australian media outlet spoke to a psychologist who said fans could be experiencing feelings “similar to grief” as they battle through one loss after another.
But the weekend just gone was meant to be pain free as the club enjoyed a bye.
However, the torment still came for supporters in an unexpected fashion.
After a club victory, AFL’s video producers upload videos of the winning team singing the club song in the rooms.
Each club has a themed song and it is a long-standing AFL tradition that players link arms and sing the song after a win.
Needless to say, that event has only happened once this year for West Coast which was way back in Round 2 against the GWS Giants.
With that in mind, fans are certainly desperate to see their players sing the song, but watching rival players sing is probably taking things a fraction too far.
So imagine the surprise for supporters when they clicked on the West Coast site (or club app) and noticed that there was footage of Carlton players singing ‘we are the Navy Blues’ sitting in their ‘latest video’ section.
The AFL has a shared video server and videos are tagged so that they appear on club websites and apps, or the AFL’s website and app.
Compounding the problem was the fact that no one from West Coast’s media team was able to act because they were having a well deserved weekend off.
On Monday the club eventually removed the video from the site and took to social media to make sure their fans knew it was not their fault.
“System website error (AFL system),” West Coast tweeted loudly.
“Our digital team were off over the weekend, but this has been corrected now.”
Carlton players were able to sing their song after they thrashed Gold Coast by 59 points at the MCG on Sunday.
Blues fans are able to watch the video of their players singing the song on the Carlton website.
