AFL live scores: West Coast Eagles confront Port Adelaide in earliest-ever body clock start time

The AFL have announced the time slot for the next two AFL deciders.

Club great Shannon Hurn is making a different type of debut today.

He is working as an Eagles runner for the first time so keep an eye out for him.

As they did last week, the Eagles have found their feet in the second quarter and applied the pressure to Port Adelaide.

Yeo was the catalyst with a massive term through the middle.

His physical presence and desire to make everyone know he’s back lifts the rest of the midfield.

The kids are also playing well with Lindsay leading the Eagles’ ball winners.

Waterman also looks great with a terrfic lace out mark and then slotting his second after the halftime siren.

West Coast get the margin under 20 points after a great bit of composure from Davies in defence.

Duursma nearly messed up with a dangerous kick under pressure in defence but the Eagles rescued it.

Davies showed poise to get a calm kick away before Port gave away a 50 metre penalty and then Duursma was dropped in a marking pack just outside the square and kicked the easy goal.

Graham wins a holding-the-ball free kick on the boundary and makes a tough set shot look easy.

It slides left to right and goes through the big sticks.

Former Power coach Ken Hinkley has said everything most West Coast fans are thinking about 9.30am footy.

“It’s a tough gig to turn up and play at 9 in the morning,” Hinkley told Fox Footy.

“I think it’s unreasonable in today’s game, to actually ask for that to happen.

“There’s things called charter flights. I reckon you can get a flight home at a reasonable hour, about 6 o’clock tonight, and still be back in Perth by 6.”

Durdin gets one for the Power but the Eagles answer after winning the clearance with Reid, Kelly and Yeo at the centre throw up.

Allan was playing half-forward and drifts wide for an easy mark.

He slots the set shot for his second of the match and his career.

Schoenberg could have had his first Eagles goal but instead was unselfish and centred the ball to Waterman directly in front of goal.

The former Crow was also the one who got it forward with a deft kick to Robertson before he followed the ball in and gathered the crumbs.

Has been some good Eagles to wear the No.48 as well with Jakovich and Cox having sported it.

Port could have started the term with three goals but it takes Georgiades from the boundary to grab their first.

The Eagles are in danger of getting blown away as they continue to struggle to get their hands on the footy.

The team stats tell much of the tale for West Coast.

They’ve had seven more turnovers which has resulted in an extreme inside 50 difference with the Power leading the stat 17 to six.

The Eagles are only slightly down in the contested ball but uncontested is a real concern.

Yeo grabbed a great on-the-run goal back late but Port are well on top and had they not missed a few late could have very nearly put the game away.
