Live HQ: SuperCoach scores, stats
The Eagles hammered home 11.3 - their greatest ever third term - to bury the Demons after a gutsy first half.
Josh Kennedy and Jack Darling have shared nine goals while Matt Priddis and Dean Cox have been chief midfield destroyers.
Cox has a game-high 124 SuperCoach points, while Nathan Jones has again been the Dees' best.
The big loss is certain to heap even more pressure on embattled Melbourne coach Mark Neeld despite the Dees' two four-goal bursts in the first half.

3/4 TIME: NORTH MELBOURNE 59 - 106 SYDNEY
SYDNEY booted 11 goals in a withering third quarter burst to set up a commanding lead over North Melbourne at Blundstone Arena, Hobart.
The goal fest marked the Swans biggest single-quarter effort since 1995.
Ben McGlynn was dangerous inside the arc kicking two goals from seven disposals in the quarter.
Jude Bolton (four goals), Daniel Hannebery (two goals, 20 disposals) and Jarrad McVeigh (two goals, 21 disposals) have been the pick of the Swans.
Meanwhile, North Melbourne could only muster the one goal, Lindsay Thomas converting from 50m directly in front.
Daniel Wells and Ben Cunnington had their influence in the game stymied a the Swans ran amok.
Kangaroos youngster Kieran Harper was substituted out of the match for Sam Wright midway through the term.
1/2 TIME: MELBOURNE 56 - 66 WEST COAST
A LATE flurry of Josh Kennedy goals has West Coast in front but under serious pressure from bottom-placed Melbourne at the MCG.
Live HQ: SuperCoach scores, stats
Kennedy booted three late second-half goals to wrestle back the momentum after Aaron Davey sparked the Dees to life with a mercurial left-foot snap.
Davey's goal was followed by a Mitch Clark major from the boundary and Jeremy Howe snap to send the dispirited Dees fans into a short frenzy.
Melbourne, as it did in the first term, booted four-straight goals to snatch the lead.
GALLERY: Howe good was Jeremy's mark?
Kennedy put West Coast three goals up before Jack Trengove steadied the home side with a major to end the half.
The Dees have lost Rohan Bail to concussion in a big worry. Bail missed most the summer due to his history with head injuries and copped a knee to the head to end his day in the second term.
Jimmy Toumpas was substituted into the match.
Matt Priddis has been West Coast's star with 18 disposals, while Dean Cox has dominated Mark Jamar in the ruck.
Halftime SuperCoach stars:
Cox (90)

But the Swans responded with Jude Bolton kicking his third goal.
Young gun Luke Parker made it two eight minutes for the Swans who looked to up the ante midway through the term.
