The West Coast Eagles have pulled ahead at the death and won the 2018 AFL grand final, courtesy of an incredibly clutch series of play.
With 2:39 left on the clock and the Pies clinging to a two-point lead, a counter attack and sweep down the Eagles’ right flank has ensured the premiership is heading west in 2018.
It began with Jeremy McGovern flying high to take a mark just inside his own 50. He played on immediately, hitting Nathan Vardy on the chest with a low kick.
Then Liam Ryan flew high – a highlight reel on its own – and, with time running out, kicked long to Dom Sheed.
