Duursma with a rare highlight

He’s been moved on the ball in this quarter and has held up well.

He gets the ball outside 50 and boots through a great solo effort.

Eagles finally get a third goal.

Chad Warner has a goal

You doubt the performance of the Eagles tonight would tempt him to come back to WA.

He catches Schoenberg holding the ball and converts to become Swans’ 12th goal scorer.

Heeney gets his fourth

It’s been some night for the Swans superstar in his first game back from a hamstring strain.

Matt Flynn stuck on him this time and he can’t do anything to stop him as the margin is out to 100 points.

Wicks with a great solo goal

“They can’t run with them.” David King summarises of the Eagles defence.

Wicks dances through the middle sidesteps a couple and finsihes on the run from just oustide 50.

Scratch that

Score review shows it just nicks the post so we waste a good three minutes and West Coast are stuck back at two goals

Waterman gets his second

A rare goal for the Eagles as they actually get their transition game going for the first time today.

Schoenberg with a nice kick inside 50 to find them. Wasn’t great off the boot but snuck it through.

Swans roll on

Lloyd has a second the margin is out to 86 points and there’s still nearly the entire second half to go.
