West Coast could be rocked with a second ruckman knee reconstruction, with Scott Lycett revealing the major surgery might be in play after his visit to Melbourne on Wednesday to consult with specialists.

It has already been reported Lycett would have extensive surgery to the damaged left knee he carried through the last month of the season, with a torn posterior cruciate ligament, almost ruptured muscle tendon and significant cartilage tearing.

But after limping through last week's finals loss to the Western Bulldogs, he travelled to Melbourne on Wednesday and the news he received does not seem to have been positive.

"We're not sure - the club will announce something soon [about a potential reconstruction] and I'll pretty much go under the knife from there," Lycett told Radio 6PR's Breakfast program.
