16:45
SCORE GOAL - Bulldogs (Matthew Boyd)
16:50
GOAL BULLDOGS - And now the 'Dogs show that they can still run out a game as slick movement down their right wing sees Boyd marking in front before he plays on to make it certain..
18:44
SCORE GOAL - Bulldogs (Stewart Crameri)
18:50
GOAL BULLDOGS - Nice fight being shown by the Doggies as Dahlhaus works hard to keep the ball in before it's dribbled towards the goal-line for Crameri to pick up and slam home. Good quarter 'Dogs.
21:05
Looks as though Crameri is still struggling after his prior goal-scoring antics as he reaches towards the right side of his groin and asks for medical attention. Could be an adductor tear perhaps..??
23:00
SCORE GOAL - Eagles (Jack Darling)
23:05
GOAL EAGLES - Gift wrapped present for Darling as with the ball being brought inside by MacKenzie, he's awarded another free kick for a hold. With no angle to speak of 25m out, it's guided home.
24:56
SCORE GOAL - Bulldogs (Jack Macrae)
25:00
GOAL BULLDOGS - And as has been the pattern in the final term, the 'Dogs find a reply yet again as Dahlhaus displays beautiful vision to spot up Macrae. 30m out to the right presents no dramas. Home.
26:21
SCORE GOAL - Eagles (Chris Masten)
26:25
GOAL EAGLES - This is turning into an epic last stanza as Minson wins the tap work inside the Eagles 50 but directs it straight to Masten who snaps home comfortably from 15m out to the left..
27:37
SCORE GOAL - Eagles (Mark LeCras)
27:40
GOAL EAGLES - Naitanui sets this up as his punt to the top of the goal-square isn't punched away far enough by Morris and falls to Le Cras who shows the nous to snap around his body from 15m out.
30:05
So with three minutes remaining on the time piece, it's the West Coast who have shown that they're a different unit under Adam Simpson with great signs from their midfield and dynamic forward line..
32:45
Fatigue now well and truly setting in for both sets of players with the game having started in 33 degree conditions early. It's been the 'Dogs who haven't handled the Eagles heat tonight though..
34:35
The siren has sounded to end Q4.
35:00
Full Time and it was the West Coast who started brilliantly and they let up as they hand the much-hyped Bulldogs an absolute flogging in the opening round. A white-hot West Coast win by 65..
