First quarter:

9.25: Mark LeCras opens the Eagles' goal account after finding some space out the back, mitting an uncontested mark and streaming into an unoccupied goal square.

10.58: Nathan Vardy boots his second goal for the West Coast Eagles with a running drop punt from 35m on a slight angle.

Extra info: West Coast is slingshotting well from its defensive half, with its entire score of 2.1.13 coming from intercept possessions in its defensive half of the ground.

19.13: Nathan Vardy nails Josh Kennedy on the chest with a pin-point inside-50 entry, but the two-time Coleman medallist pulls his shot from 40m left of the major opening.

23.22: Josh Kennedy wins a free kick after being held off the ball by a Demons' defender and calmly slots his ensuing set shot from 40m.

Extra info: West Coast is transitioning the ball well from its defensive 50, with four of its eight chains launched from its back 50 resulting in an inside 50. Last season the AFL average for inside 50s from defensive 50 chains was 10 per cent.

West Coast 0.3.5 (23) v Melbourne 0.2.2 (14)

Second quarter:

4.34: West Coast continues its coast-to-coast play as some beautiful link up play between Andrew Gaff and Sam Mitchell drives the home team down the field. Luke Shuey makes the most of the passage by sending in a high inside 50 to the advantage of Josh Kennedy, who pierces the tall posts with his set shot.

Extra info: Over the pre-season so far, 70 per cent of West Coast's possessions have been uncontested, the highest percentage in the AFL. It has been a similar story tonight, with 119 out of its 160 possessions (or 74 per cent) being uncontested.

Extra info: West Coast continues to score exclusively from intercept possessions, with all 5.5.35 coming from this score source. Three goals have come from defensive 50 chains and the other two have been launched from the defensive midfield.

16.41: Mark LeCras kicks his second goal of the evening with an imperious laser from close to the boundary.

Extra info: Mark LeCras is finding plenty of space inside West Coast's forward 50, with five marks inside 50 already for the match. Josh Kennedy has three marks inside 50 as well.

23.43: Mark LeCras crumbs the ball from the bottom of a big pack and fires it out backwards to a hard running Matt Priddis, who duly slots his left foot snap from approximately 30m out.

West Coast 0.7.5 (47) v Melbourne 0.6.3 (39)

Third quarter:

2.08: Jack Darling opens the Eagles' second half account with a high flying mark and simple shot from point-blank range.

12.06: A bullet-like pass from defender Shannon Hurn opens up the play and the Eagles take advantage by working the ball through the corridor. In spite of two sketchy chip kicks, Jack Darling collects the ball out the back and dribbled the ball through the big sticks.

19.40: Andrew Gaff kicks his first goal of the night with a penetrating bomb from 45m.

21.13: Matt Priddis shows some calm under pressure to deliver a picture-perfect inside 50 assist to Josh Kennedy. The Eagles full forward rewards Priddis for his good work by nailing his set shot.

27.17: Josh Hill kicks the simplest of goals after collecting a loose ball less than an arm's reach from the goal line.

Extra info: Chris Masten had a huge third term with 11 disposals at 91 per cent efficiency, with 10 coming via an uncontested possession. Sam Mitchell also had 11 disposals for the quarter at 82 per cent efficiency, with all 11 coming via an uncontested possession.

24.00: Josh Kennedy leads back to the goals square, cuts towards the wing and reels in a mark just inside the 50m arc. He slots the shot for his fifth major of the match!
