Hanley, stop being terrible. ::)

Happy to get the 4 points, but that wasn't exactly an inspiring game of footy to watch

Brisbane kept chipping away and were there abouts, but it was good to see we could keep them at bay and lock in a win

Zorko and Martin barely scored in the last, so that's very disappointing as they were both on track for nice 100+ scores :'(

Good to see Priddis bounce back - not an elite score, but i'll take it, based on his poor DE. Can only get better from here out

Couldn't believe Martin's score until I saw his clangers, hopefully the scalers bump them up.

Well my 4 WXVs players were terrible. Thanks for nothing you muppets.

Priddis was 65 at 3/4 time, and finished the game with a DE of 44% and 100SC, and just got scaled up to 108

I'll take that!

Martin scaled up to 100 too

My take on the game after watching from the stands.

Not a very inspiring game at all with poor disposal efficiency from both sides. Numerous turnovers but as both sides were guilty did not really impact the score board.

Poor kicking for goal by both sides in last quarter was an indication of the night. West Coast were the better team and rightly won the game but no way are a top 8 contender at this stage.

Stef Martin as has been said earlier undoubtedly buy of the season and has saved his AFL Career, Seriously he was in danger of being de-listed this year following his injuries and previous poor form.

For a side missing Berger, Rich, Redden, Rocky from the spine it was a reasonable performance. Hanley once again showed he is susceptible to a tag although loose. Showed also he is not a true midfielder with 3 frees against effecting his FF scores.

Brisbanes mosquito squad again shopwed what they can do with Green leading the way.

Mitch Golby made the most of his return and had undoubtedly his best game of the season

Gooses one in a million mark was a highlight but it went to his head as he dropped a number of marks after it.

Luke Shuey was the stand out on the night and showed what he is capable of. He also got the rub of the green from umps with 3 frees for 1 very soft.

Ryan Lester appeared to have a run with Priddis role and kept him under control but Priddis case was not aided by 3 frees against.

Nic Nat to me appears to be somewhat lost when going forward and is easily caught of position. Did not take a mark in the forward 50 and was easily beaten by Patfull on most occasions.

Like the look of McGovern has strong hands and can take a contested mark.

Crowd of 13,610 extremely disappointing even considering the fact that Brisbane is a long way from Perth. However something has to be done to avoid sporting code conflicts as the Qld Reds were playing the NSW Waratahs in Super Rugby at the same time and undoubtedly this would have taken some of crowd away. Brisbanes unusually cold weather did not help either,

In summary not a game to put in the highlights reel.

As evidenced by Raines languishing in reserves Brisbane do not tag but have run with roles and Shuey showed what he can do without the tight tag.
