West Coast limped into the bye with yet another loss, going down to Carlton at home on a damp Sunday night. Carlton leapt out of the blocks, racing away to a 39-point lead at the first change and holding a massive 57-point lead during the second term before the Eagles finally clicked into gear, working their way back to end up losing by 34 points. Mid-season draftee Tom McCarthy made an instant impression with 31 possessions on debut, a new club record, while Bailey Williams kicked a career-high three goals.

From the coach[]
From the papers[]
The West Australian[]
"The Blues had four goals on the board before some fans had even found their seats and a sense of Déjà vu would’ve been creeping in to everyone donning the blue and gold in the stadium.
Such was the pressure early that Allen had to go back as the spare in defence to try to stem the flow of scoring.
The Eagles were desperately in need of a settler, and they found it through McCarthy who set up Bailey Williams for their first goal.
It was a momentary bit of relief for West Coast, who couldn’t halt the surge from the Blues who took advantage of what appeared to be a disorganised Eagles’ defence."[1]
Reserves[]
Round 10 (14 June)
West Coast's reserves joined their senior counterparts at the bottom of their respective ladders, suffering a disappointing loss to Peel. The Eagles were never in the hunt as Peel dominated in all areas of the game. Jobe Shanahan was his side's best with 20 disposals and eight marks in the backline.
