West Coast announced itself as a genuine top-four threat with an convincing six-goal victory over Carlton at Docklands on Sunday.
The Eagles picked up their first win in Melbourne from four attempts this season, outmuscling and outworking the undermanned Blues 15.13 (103) to 10.7 (67) in a terrific contest.
West Coast remains in fifth spot on 36 points heading into the bye but is now breathing down the necks of the Blues who are just two points ahead following just their third loss of the season.
