West Coast has recorded a huge home win over St Kilda, thrashing the Saints by 103 points at Subiaco. While St Kilda was never really expected to challenge the might of the Eagles on West Coast's home turf, the Saints' fans and coaching hierarchy would have been disappointed with the magnitude of the loss. St Kilda could only manage to score one goal in the first, and finished with a paltry score of 3.11.29, its lowest total since round six, 2002, when it kicked 3.10.28 against Collingwood.
The writing was on the wall very early for St Kilda, with Josh Kennedy goaling twice within the first two minutes, and Mark Hutchings kicking the Eagles third goal by the four-minute mark. A rushed behind to the Saints at the eight-minute mark proved to one their only score until the 27-minute mark, as the Eagles spent the rest of the quarter on a scoring spree, with Kennedy adding a third, fourth and fifth goal and Mark Le Cras kicking two as West Coast racked up nine goals before Jack Steven finally put the Saints on the board with a major just before quarter time. By the time the siren was sounded to end the first term, West Coast was ahead 57 to 9.
St Kilda was better in terms of scoring opportunities in the second quarter, but could not find the big sticks, with Jack Billings, Jack Lonie, Tim Membrey and Josh Bruce contributing misses to a quarter that yielded only six behinds. The Eagles added 3.2, and led 77-15 at the long break.
Josh Bruce provided some relief for Saints' fans with the first goal of the third term, but 'normal service' was the resumed, as West Coast added a further 3.3 to nil to take a 77-point lead into the final term. The Eagles went on their merry way in the final quarter, adding another five goals, with Maverick Weller adding the Saints only major of the term, West Coast running out winners by 103 points in the end.
The Eagles had many fine players, with Luke Shuey (31 disposals, six tackles) and Kennedy with his five first-quarter goals among the best. Seb Ross (31 possessions and eight tackles) was one of the best for St Kilda.
West Coast is seventh on the ladder with a 5-3 record and will face Port Adelaide at the Adelaide Oval next Saturday, while St Kilda (14th, 2-6) will look to get back on the winners list against Essendon at Docklands on Sunday.
