The West Coast Eagles led by as much as 27 points at the first break before the young Lions ran them off their legs, the final score 15.12.102 to 8.10.58

A scoreless third term for the Eagles didn’t help their cause as the Lions added 3 goals to extend their lead to 29 points.

Ex-Docker Lachie Neale was terrific in his Lions debut, amassing 29 disposals and one major as good friend and Former Cat Lincoln McCarthy kicked 4 goals in his first game for the club.

Last year’s Grand Final hero Dom Sheed worked hard all night for a career high 38 disposals — while Oscar Allen and Jack Darling kicked 2 goals each.
