Analysis: Peter Wright kicks 7.0 and the Bombers kick 15 goals from just 39 inside-50s. That’s about the game in a nutshell. The Dogs had 60 inside-50s yet couldn’t overcome the spirited Dons. In the end, the Bombers smashed the Dogs in clearances, 47-31. We await news on Josh Bruce, however, who looks to have hurt himself in the dying seconds of that game.

The margin is an even two goals...
Jake Stringer won a holding the man free kick at the centre bounce and went forward.
Two minutes left on the clock and Peter Wright has just intercepted a kick across the ground. He’ll line up from 60 metres out...
A big captain’s goal from Marcus Bontempelli brings the margin back to 11 points with 3.12 left on the clock!
This next clearance will be huge.

GWS and Richmond meet next week. What a fortnight of footy we have left to define the top eight.
Also note, West Coast, in seventh, sit on 40 points and play the Demons tomorrow. Their percentage is 95.9%.
Well, Peter Wright has maybe not kicked a bigger goal in his career. He’s just landed his sixth goal to give his side an 18-point lead with less than 10 minutes left on the clock.
He’s had just eight touches for his side goals. He landed this one from 55 metres out on a tight angle. His set shot accuracy has been insane today.
And now he’s lining up for his seventh! This could be the match-defining goal...
He comes in from 55m, and puts it straight over the goal umpire’s hat! That’s seven goals!
