There’s no tougher road trip than West Coast in Perth – but yesterday our boys showed some encouraging signs and played with the excitement and flair that they have been working towards over the pre-season. It was a game full of highlights, and we had plenty of players stand up to be counted, but we want to know who you think is the player of the Round.
Daniel Rich looked dangerous, finishing with 23 disposals, 11 tackles and two goals, one of which was a huge goal on the run from outside 50m.

Tom Rockliff didn’t miss a beat in his return to the side. He gathered 21 disposals, made 8 tackles and kicked two goals. While Mitch Robinson (23 possessions, 4 tackles) worked tirelessly in the midfield.
Allen Christensen and Lewis Taylor buzzed around the forward line, both kicking 3 goals each. They looked dangerous whenever the ball came to ground.
