Recap: Listless West Coast Eagles smashed by Hawthorn in big backward step

Thanks for joining us. Joy for the Hawks misery for the Eagles. Don’t know where they go from here.

There are a few words I’d use but they aren’t fit for print.

Finally it’s over. One of the worst performances in recent memories from the Eagles given the players they had on hand. McGovern and Barrass the only thing stopping a bigger belting. Can anyone else stand up? I doubt it. Lack of effort, skill and just a battering. Four marks inside 50 all of which came in the final quarter. Disposals 278 to 426, 60 inside50’s to 33. Clearances 38 to 19. Shocking stuff

Bailey Williams misses his set shot to the right. It’s 1.3 to 9.5 since half-time. But the Eagles manage to win the ball back on the wing and they get out the back and Williams gets his first. Probably staves off the 100 point loss.

West Coast are staring down a 100-point defeat. No pressure, no effort and just under 8 minutes to survive. Eagles fans have had enough and a pouring out. I don’t blame them

The only Eagle who can hold is head high is coming off with a possible dislocated thumb after a defensive spoil. Connor Macdonald kicks his second

Another mark inside 50 as West Coast manage to transition the ball to spilt the HAwk’s defence. His snap from the pocket misses the near side.

49,454 turned up. If only the team did the same. Hawks put on another two goals as the defence has just evaporated.
