Eagles have 32 inside-50 entries – without a goal
This has been dumbfounding. The Eagles have dominated play up forward with 32 inside-50 entries, but have yet to score a goal – and we have eight minutes remaining in the second term. The Kangaroos have yet to score this term, stuck on 20 points.
It’s quarter-time in Bunbury

The Kangaroos have begun well, leading 20 to five at quarter-time in Bunbury despite the Eagles dominating the inside-50 count 21-10. The Eagles have 14 inside-50 tackles – the most for a quarter they have had in a decade – but it’s on the scoreboard that really counts.
Paul Curtis has two goals, while half-back Caleb Daniel has 11 touches for the Kangaroos. Ruckman Tristan Xerri has seven contested possessions.

Good evening
By Jon Pierik
Hello and welcome to our AFL live, blog.
We have North Melbourne’s “home” game against West Coast in Bunbury underway, before the marquee encounter of the day – Essendon and Carlton facing off at the MCG.
First bounce is set for 7.20pm AEST.
We are also awaiting the match review officer’s verdict on Tom Stewart’s bump on Gold Coast Sun captain Noah Anderson yesterday.
Enjoy the evening to come.
