Brisbane Lions post AFLW record score to thrash West Coast Eagles as Collingwood, St Kilda and Carlton enjoy wins

The Brisbane Lions have set a record for the highest score in an AFLW match after thumping the West Coast Eagles by 74 points in Perth.

The reigning premiers led 46-0 at half-time before cruising to a 15.8 (98) to 4.0 (24) victory.

The Lions' total eclipsed the previous record score of 13.9 (87) set by Carlton against Gold Coast last year.

The winning margin was also the largest in AFLW history, bettering the Bulldogs' 73-point victory over Carlton in 2018.

The Lions had the chance to become the first team to reach triple figures, but Greta Bodey's 38-metre set shot with less than three minutes remaining drifted just wide.

The result improved the Lions' win-loss record to 6-2, lifting them to fourth spot on the ladder and within a win of second-placed Melbourne.

The 30 percentage points they gained could prove crucial in the race for top-two and top-four berths.

The Eagles (1-7) are now last on the ladder following St Kilda's shock three-point win over Gold Coast earlier in the day.

Star Lions midfielder Emma Bates finished with 31 disposals and seven clearances in a best afield display, while forward Jesse Wardlaw and Sophie Conway booted three goals apiece.

West Coast skipper Emma Swanson fought hard for 22 disposals and six clearances, but the midfield were outgunned by Brisbane's on-ball brigade.

The only negative note for the Lions was Orla O'Dwyer's right shoulder injury.

O'Dwyer sustained the injury while attempting a tackle and immediately left the field cradling her right arm.

Collingwood fears gun midfielder Brittany Bonnici has suffered a ruptured ACL, souring a 25-point win over the Western Bulldogs that boosted its finals hopes.

The Magpies' 10.6 (66) to 6.5 (41) victory at Victoria Park was their highest ever AFLW score
