West Coast crashed back to earth, thumped by reigning premiers Brisbane by 45 points. Understrength and coming off a short turnaround, the Eagles were blown away early, going goalless for three terms with only some inaccuracy from the Lions preventing the margin getting even worse. Ella Roberts continued her good form with 24 touches and 10 marks.
