West Coast Eagles

They had defended stoutly through Belinda Smith, Sophie McDonald and Sarah Goronova, while Sarah Lakay was outstanding in the ruck, Emma Swanson, Bella Lewis ...

When the lightning came to force a delay the Eagles led the game by five points. A 30-minute break initiated mid-game as a result of the stormy weather. In reality it was far from that. Three scoreless quarters and a six-point AFLW loss to Fremantle at Fremantle Oval. In the second term the Eagles dominated, kicked a couple of goals where Ella Roberts and Kate Bartlett were threatening while Kellie Gibson also kicked a long-range goal. Fremantle kicked with the aid of the breeze and while the game was played in their half for much of the first term, the Eagles repelled attack after attack.
