West Coast’s WAFL side continues to struggle, losing by 69 points to an in-form East Perth outfit in wet conditions on Saturday. Here’s how the 11 AFL-listed Eagles went.
Harry Barnett: Kicked an early goal and battled hard up forward as he continues to develop in several roles.
Sandy Brock: Didn’t touch the footy until after half-time but had plenty to do as East Perth surged ahead after quarter-time.
Malakai Champion: Went into the midfield where he thrived, finishing with a career-high 20 touches.
Matt Flynn: The ruckman responded to his axing with 24 touches, 30 hit-outs and five clearances against Scott Jones to be his side’s best.
Lucca Grego: Had a quiet game across half- back in the wet conditions. Looks to be tiring in his first season.

Jayden Hunt: Showed leadership and skill in defence with 22 touches as he looks to break back into the AFL side.
Jack Hutchinson: Had a strong first half with 15 touches and three clearances but didn’t play after half-time because of a hamstring injury.
Harvey Johnston: Is still learning his role at half-back but was good in the contest in tough conditions.
Coen Livingstone: Kicked a pair of goals as a lead-up forward and competed hard against plenty of experienced Royals.
Noah Long: Struggled for impact. Didn’t register his first disposal until after half-time and finished with just 10 and five tackles as he was moved into the midfield.
Jack Williams: A poor game from the experienced forward who had just the six touches and one mark. He didn’t hit the scoreboard.
