Pies' Dominance Raises Questions About West Coast's Midfield Depth The Western Australian football scene was abuzz on Sunday as Collingwood's thumping win over West Coast Eagles left many questioning the latter's midfield strength.

Collingwood's superiority in both categories was evident from as early as the third quarter. Their lead on the inside 50 count grew to a staggering 13 5, while their clearance advantage stood at 38 28.
