Match Report
AFL Report | Dogs take the chocolates on Easter Sunday
The Western Bulldogs have enjoyed a commanding 76-point win over West Coast at Marvel Stadium on Easter Sunday.
The Western Bulldogs have enjoyed a commanding 76-point win over West Coast at Marvel Stadium on Easter Sunday.
Last year's wooden spooners only kicked one goal after quarter-time as the Bulldogs cruised to their second win of the season, 16.10 (106) to 3.12 (30).
The Eagles have now lost all 12 quarters in their three games so far this season.
Midfielders Adam Treloar and Tom Liberatore shone as the Dogs killed the game off with six goals to one behind in the second term.
06:02
Midfielder Tim Kelly was among the Eagles' best, but epitomised their plight in front of goal when attempting a shot late in the second term.
As he played on to take his long-range effort, he slipped over and lost possession.
Jamie Cripps sprayed four behinds before finally kicking West Coast's third goal in the last term, breaking an 11-goal run for the Bulldogs, but he then missed another shot to finish with less than two minutes remaining in the game.
Macrae made a low-key but successful return after considerable discussion about his absence from the Bulldogs' line-up for the first two rounds.
Treloar had a game-high 35 disposals, including 12 contested possessions, and Liberatore racked up 11 contested possessions before he was subbed out at three-quarter time.
While captain Marcus Bontempelli had a low-key match by his lofty standards, he was still influential with eight tackles and three goals.
Eagles star Jeremy McGovern again showed why he is one of the AFL's top defenders, racking up a game-high 11 marks.
The Bulldogs wore black armbands in honour of staunch fan and prominent youth worker Les Twentyman, who died last week.
It was the Eagles' lowest ever score at Marvel Stadium (its previous lowest was 52 points), and their sixth lowest score in their history.
