He has, but he was poor last night… we need a solid performance from him against Geelong.

Gardner shut out Kennedy last night whilst Keath struggled to spoil Darling. Gardner isn’t measured about when he has ball in hand, it’s his spoils and defence that count.

It wouldn't matter if we lost and Gardner wasn't playing they would still blame him.

One of the most improved players going around in his position for the number of games played.

Every player can cop some criticism. No one is saying Gardner wasn't any good. He made some mistakes, gave away several free kicks, so he needs to tighten up next week, as Cameron or Hawkins will make us pay.

Still panics in high pressure situations. Is improving defensively though.

Bankers

1. Putting a team like West Coast to the sword. The boys still have that killer instinct when it's there for the taking. We needed the percentage boost and the boys delivered

2. Rhylee West for being a chip off the old block. His hands in tight are so good. Often spots a target out of congestion. The goal assist to doc was sublime.

3. McNeil for making me eat my words from a couple weeks ago where I said I didn't care if he pulled on our jumper ever again. He has had a solid couple of weeks in a position that is hard to play.

Anchors

1. Sweet. Struggled to get involved. I know he's only young but coming off last week where I thought he played his role well, I thought he was too quiet.

2. Buku. A bit like Sweet, he's young and couldn't get involved. It's harsh to Anchor pups but trying to find negatives when you win by a 100+ is difficult.

Bankers:

West - The biggest factor holding him back from getting games is that he can turn the ball over. Currently he's going at 88% which is 6th in the league. Well done on the improvement here. He'll never be a penetrating kick or silky distributor, but he has clearly listened and worked on it. We all know about his toughness, which was awesome on the night. 2 goals and 3 goal assists.

Williams - Doing a great job adjusting to a role on the wing.

Treloar - Is flying the last few weeks.

Anchors:

Sweet - just doesn't have a position if he isn't first ruck. Understandable that he had to play given English being a risk after being out for a while.

Extra Banker: Good effort from the club having Arthur Jones head over and toss the coin. The kid was ecstatic and the way the players got around him a brilliant showing of how they are as a group.
