The Western Bulldogs have piled more AFL misery onto lowly West Coast, mauling them by 76 points at Marvel Stadium.

Last year’s wooden spooners kicked only one goal after quarter-time as the Bulldogs cruised to their second win of the season, 16.10 (106) to 3.12 (30).

It was the Eagles’ equal sixth-lowest score in club history and they have lost all 12 quarters in their three games so far this season.

Tempers flared late in the game when Eagles youngster Reuben Ginbey collected Jack Macrae with a bump. It was while Sam Darcy benefited from the 50m penalty and kicked a goal, that a scuffle ensued that will attract video scrutiny.

Midfielders Adam Treloar and Tom Liberatore shone as the Dogs killed the game with six goals to one behind in the second term. Treloar had a game-high 35 disposals, including 12 contested possessions, and Liberatore racked up 11 contested possessions before he was subbed out at three-quarter time.

Midfielder Tim Kelly was among the Eagles’ best but epitomised their plight in front of goal when attempting a shot late in the second term. As he played on to take his long-range effort, Kelly slipped over and lost possession.

The Bulldogs wore black armbands in honour of staunch fan and prominent youth worker Les Twentyman, who died last week.
