Has to be a day to celebrate 
AS good as Adelaide were the West Coast was poor .........most importantly thru the midfield where with Kerr pretty well held by Doughty .....the lacked players who could break thru the lines.
Strabgely Priddis had some 29 possessions ......yet you could hardly call him dangreous.
Most important aspect of today is .........Tippett not being seriously injured!!!!!
last qtr and a bit were actually a bit boring as all the sting went out the game .......it was also Vinces best period ....but that's another story.
Thompson:
After a quiet game last week he was back to the way he can play.
And we needed him after losing Reilly.
Porplyzia:
Well now the media are calling him a star .......another great effort.
Behind Thompson clearly our best midfield player ....his hands in tight extracts, yet he can still run as an outside receiver and deliver pinpoint 40 mtr passes.
His kicks are generally low in trajectory ........reduced hang tim and perfect delivery to forwards.
He's a great mark .....so almost the complete package (just missing speed).
Bock:
Last week Craig allowed Bock to be dragged away from the play.
Today Bock set us numerous attacks ........Hansen has been our bogeyman over the last 2 seasons .....it's great to see him get pantzed.
Goodwin:
Still remains one of the best one touch marks I have seen for a player of his size.
Great flexibility as we can interchange him and Macleod from defence to attack ....and also run him still in the midfield ....what an asset.
Tippett:
Already he is getting more attention from opposing coaches ...after 2 games
Would suggest he'll miss next week and we'll see Sellar against Port.
Symes:
The more I see ....the less I like
Is slow and if he's to be a wingman he needs to get FAR MORE DANGEROUS with his possessions.
He gets alot of the ball ....gets caught alot as well ....does not appear to be strong enough in hips or body to break tackles once applied.
I know it's early ....but jury is definately out.
Mackay:
I guess typical 2nd game .....ran around alot and didn't see much of the ball.
Again he'll be retained as he is classy with how and where he runs and what he does when he does get the ball.
As always kids will be up and down.
Griffin:
Worked a bit harder ....but many of the things I didn't like last week were again apparent today.
Has a long way to go ......must run harder to get more of the ball .....it's good that players are just starting to use him when he does run to position.
Douglas:
Again a quiter game ....but Iam really liking the little things he's doing......he's getting ball to foot a lot quicker by having a very low ball drop when kicking.
That means he's picking the ball off the ground and kicking almost simultaneously.
Working harder ....attacking the ball harder .......we're starting to see real positive results.
Vince:
Again when the heat was on Vince was quiet .....when the sting went out of the game Vince started to make a real prescence.
Jericho:
Yeah he got some possessions but here are some points:
1. He can't play as a forwrd as he's not a very accurate kick.
2. As muscular as he looks ....he's not strong .....when a tackle is layed it stays layed.
3. His field kicking off the wing was never to the right position .......one time Goodwin was behind his opponent Jericho should have kicked longer over both heads .....he didn't and Goodwin was out of position.
Haven't changed my opinion in any form based on that game
Summary:
All in all it was an even performance ......there are many players when you try and recall their performance you think "gee they didn't stand out" ......yet we won by 76 points
So all players must have teamed well and contributed.
