West Coast forward Jamie Cripps was helped off the field in the final few minutes of the Eagles' 51-point loss to Hawthorn on Sunday afternoon.

The incident happened with just two minutes remaining, in a marking contest with Hawthorn's Josh Gibson.

Eagles coach Adam Simpson post-game said Cripps was in doubt for the derby against Fremantle next Saturday night, suggesting Cripps' ankle was quite sore.
