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)
Priddis (70)
Kennedy (69)
Viney (52).

Josh Kennedy has been the pick of the Swans with 13 disposals and 69 SuperCoach points.

Lindsay Thomas snapped a goalless 10-minute burst with his first before Tarrant's strong mark and goal moments later.

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.

But again it was Tarrant who bobbed up in the shadows of half-time picking up the loose ball in the goal square to snap his second.

The Demons showed the intensity and pressure that was nowhere to be seen in their first two outings in the first 20 minutes at the MCG.

Shannon Byrnes won a free kick near goal to give his side the lead before Jack Viney found Colin Sylvia who booted his second classy goal to put the Dees 10 points in front,

But the Eagles steadied and a goal to Dean Cox near the siren gave them an eight-point buffer,

West Coast lost Beau Waters in the warm-up, replaced by Jacob Brennan. Matthew Priddis (12 disposals) and Daniel Kerr (10) were the catalysts in the first term.

1/4 TIME: NORTH MELBOURNE 26 - 22 SYDNEY

NORTH Melbourne withstood a three goal Sydney burst to go into the first break with a four-point buffer at Blundstone Arena, Hobart.

Daniel Wells was the chief destroyer for the Kangaroos collecting nine disposals in the term.

Michael Firrito and Scott Thompson proved handy down back while Josh Kennedy dominated play for the Swans.

Kennedy picked up nine disposals of his own for 53 SuperCoach points.

North Melbourne bounced out of the blocks with the first two goals but Sydney hit back kicking three in a hurry.
