Welcome!

The Eagles still hunt their first win of the season as they take on Melbourne at Optus Stadium.

But we’ve already seen one West Coast upset today as the WAFL team took down top side South Fremantle.

Can the seniors take the inspriration, or will the Demons beat them like they did the Dockers a fortnight ago?

Stay tuned for all the action.
