WESTERN BULLDOGS coach Rodney Eade has refused to blame Perth’s warm weather for his side’s shock 33-point loss to West Coast on Sunday.
Eade said the 30-degree heat was no excuse for the Bulldogs uncharactersitically sloppy performance.
“There’s absolutely no excuse, (the weather) was the same for both sides,” Eade said.
“Both sides were fatigued; I just think they coped with it better than we did.
Eade praised the Eagles and said their pressure forced his side into several turnovers.
"Full credit to the Eagles, they played very well and obviously deserved to win," he said.
"Just the number of turnovers (we had) at times, even some without pressure and late in quarters."
"They scored eight to half-time and eight of them were from turnovers, so they obviously capitalised."
"(And), late in the first quarter, they scored three goals in three minutes, it's probably about the difference in the end."
