West Coast must defy history to avoid finishing in the bottom four this season and will face an enormous challenge to avoid their second wooden spoon after their 109-point thrashing from Richmond on Friday night.

The shellacking followed smashings from Sydney and Port Adelaide and left the Eagles on the bottom of the ladder with a percentage of just 55.3.

With 17th-placed North Melbourne’s percentage also falling to 59.9, the clubs joined a list of only 17 teams since West Coast entered the competition to have a percentage lower than 60 following their seventh game of the season.
