West Coast kept pace with an under-strength Hawthorn for most of the first half but the Hawks clicked into gear late in the second quarter and from there raced away to a 44-point win. Once again the Eagles rued their poor entries inside the forward 50, while at the other end Jarryd Roughead dominated with 8 goals. Andrew Gaff kicked three goals to go with 26 disposals and Jeremy McGovern impressed in a forward role.

From the papers[]
The Age[]
"The Eagles found their way in front four seconds before quarter-time, and kept going. First, Xavier Ellis equalled Breust's effort from tight in the pocket. Then he took a strong mark, with both goals keeping the Hawks at arm's length and another Gaff snap helping to hold them out.
There were three problems, though. The first was that no matter how much ball the Eagles' onballers won, they struggled to get their passes into the hands of their tall forwards, as they have done for much of the year. Perhaps those players weren't running to the right spots. Jeremy McGovern was impressive, and kept asking for the ball all day. But a few times, the midfielders' kicks dropped just in front of the forwards, needing to be scooped up on the bounce and denying them what could and should have been a few stress-free shots on goal.
Problem No. 2 was that Hawthorn didn't want to go away. The Hawks are a self-assured side, a team that knows the things it does works, and slowly they began to assert themselves, make it harder for the Eagles to move the ball forward, then hard to even get their hands to it. Their pressure didn't rise dramatically, or suddenly, it was like they slowly started to choke the other side until the hold was so tight you realised it was going to be impossible for the Eagles to breathe again. Let alone run, string possessions together, make the Hawks sweat and play with some initiative."
The Mercury[]
"With Sam Mitchell, Brian Lake, Josh Gibson, Ben McEvoy, David Hale and Ben Stratton all sidelined, Hawthorn was supposed to be vulnerable against an Eagles outfit fighting for its season.
However after falling behind by two goals 10 minutes into the second quarter, when Andrew Gaff kicked his second goal, the Hawks went into overdrive.
They slammed on five unanswered majors to take a 19-point lead into the long break, before kicking six goals to one against the wind in the third term to blow the margin out to 48 by the last change and put the contest beyond doubt.
Roughead, who also gathered 24 touches, took eight marks and laid six tackles, kicked four of his majors in the second quarter as he ran direct opponent Eric Mackenzie ragged."
