Digby Beacham is disgusted following West Coast's dramatic loss to St Kilda.

The leading Western Australian sports journalist joined Mark Stevens on Zero Hanger's The Outer Wing (brought to you by TabTouch) to discuss the Eagles' poor performance and rank his top five players.

"Horrible, disgusting... use all the phrases you like. They were really, really poor," Beacham said.

The game, which resulted in a 101-point loss, was West Coast's biggest loss to the Saints since 2004.

"There's been a fair bit of outrage over here, and fairly so," Beacham added.

"I think the Eagles supporters thought those floggings, which became fairly commonplace under Adam Simpson, were a thing of the past. Sadly they're not."

Beacham went on to rank his top five West Coast players, ahead of their game against Richmond this weekend.

"He's fighting a losing battle, down back. It's not a good spot to be at the moment, the West Coast defence," Beacham explains.

"All in all you know he's going to give you a really good contest each and every time the ball's down there."
