Eagles march on, Nic Nat fires up after hair pulling incident

West Coast has ended Essendon's season with a 55-point win in their elimination final in Perth, and ruckman Nic Naitanui produced a dominant performance in his return for the Eagles.

Just like the Eagles' easy win in round 14, West Coast dominated in attack, with an avalanche of inside 50s that the Bombers were unable to stop.

The one concern for West Coast was an incident where Naitanui had his hair pulled by Essendon's Zach Merrett, then responded by slinging the Bombers midfielder into a fence, sparking a melee.

The Eagles will play the loser of Saturday night's qualifying final between Geelong and Collingwood.

More to come.
