The West Coast Eagles have defeated the reigning Premiers by 25-points at Domain Stadium on Friday night. The Hawks were sitting on top of the ladder heading into the match, but the Eagles stood over them for the 13.14 (92) to 10.7 (67) win. 

But it wasn’t all smooth going for West Coast with Nic Naitanui coming off late in the third quarter with a suspected knee injury, only moments after Hawthorn’s Jonathon Ceglar was also helped off the ground with an injury.
