West Coast midfielder Chris Masten rejects any suggestion the clubs shock finals loss to the Western Bulldogs was linked to this years controversial bye after the regular season ended.The Eagles stormed home to win nine out of their final 10 matches including wins against highly ranked Hawthorn, Greater Western Sydney and Adelaide, the latter two away.The Bulldogs went into Thursday nights elimination final after a loss to lowly Fremantle in Perth and mixed end to the year.I dont buy that momentum thing. All a couple of extra days can do is freshen a few blokes up, Masten told AAP.We got some blokes to play that we wouldnt have (without the bye) - they probably did as well.The 27-year-old, who had 10 kicks and 14 handballs in his 161st game, said he was unhappy with how he played.He felt the players had trained well leading into the match after finding form in the final two months of the home and away season.We were up and down this year but I think the way we finished off the year was pretty good ... we felt like our best could beat anyone, Masten said.We expect to play really deep in finals and push for a grand final but we havent done that.We played below what we know were capable of and its going to be a really tough pill to swallow over a long summer.He said the Eagles were unable to handle the Bulldogs playing a flicking it around, high-paced, high-octane run gun footy that they knew was their style.We just didnt rock up ... and the Bulldogs were very good, he said.They were cleaner, better in the contest, we were beaten in pretty much every area on the ground.You are not going to get close when the game is like that.

LAS VEGAS -- Tyler Reddick crashed the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series playoff party.Reddick held off Brad Keselowski Racing teammate Daniel Hemric at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Saturday night, leading 70 of 146 laps in the second Chase race.Unfortunately, I was a spoiler for our teammate. He was right behind us and could have got into the Chase himself, locked into the next round, Reddick said. We were spot-on, really, from the drop of the green to the end of the race. Everyone did a heck of a job all weekend long. This was not an easy weekend.Reddick and Hemric combined to lead 63 of the first 100 laps, and Reddick took the lead for good following a restart on Lap 98.Reddick joked that he knew Hemric might be a bit mad at him. However, Hemric said he was happy his team was able to pull off the exacta.Its easy to be very frustrated, but overall in the big picture its a huge nighht for Brad Keselowski Racing, Hemric said.dddddddddddd He knows my situation, and I know his situation, and were both doing all we can to win these races. He did everything he was supposed to do.Cole Custer was third, followed by Ben Kennedy and William Byron, the winner of the Chase opener last week at New Hampshire.The series will be at Talladega next week, with the eight drivers in the Chase looking to fill six spots available in the next round.Notably finishing 15th was Matt Tifft, who made his second start since undergoing brain surgery in June, when he had a low-grade glioma removed.
