West Coast slumped to its second straight loss and fell to seventh on the ladder when they were no match for a near-full strength Adelaide. The Eagles trailed by 42 points at the final change after failing to kick a goal in the third quarter, before a last-term fightback added some respectability to the scoreboard. Michael Braun led West Coast with 27 possessions and Callum Chambers had 25 in his first game for the year.
