West Coast has continued its brilliant start to the season and in the process inflicted Essendon's seventh consecutive defeat - the first time since 1978 the Dons have lost that many in a row - after it held off a spirited Bombers outfit by 21 points at Telstra Dome on Sunday.
The Eagles 16.17 (113) defeated the Bombers 14.8 (92) to record their first win over Essendon at Telstra Dome in six outings. It was also just the sixth win by West Coast from 20 matches at Docklands.
