West Coast kicked off its 2018 pre-season campaign with a narrow win over the Power in an entertaining but scrappy contest. The Eagles trailed at every change but hit the front in the dying minutes thanks to a long bomb from Lewis Jetta. Andrew Gaff led the way with 35 possessions and Jack Redden had 26 along with seven tackles and an important last-term goal.
