West Coast recorded their first win of the pre-season campaign with a last-gasp victory over the Suns at Joondalup. The Eagles were inaccurate throughout and trailed for almost the entire game, but stole the win thanks to a set shot from Jeremy McGovern in the final minute. The home side, who dominated play for long periods but were unable to make an impact on the scoreboard, lost star recruit Lewis Jetta to a calf injury in the first half.
