The West Coast Eagles suffered a disappointing loss to St Kilda on Sunday, with every player coming under scrutiny. Here is a three-word analysis of each player's performance.
Backline
Tom Barrass: Solid under pressure. Jeremy McGovern: Struggled with pace. Liam Duggan: Turnovers costly again. Alex Witherden: Kicking was off. Josh Rotham: Good intercept marks. Harry Edwards: Needs more aggression.
Midfield
Elliot Yeo: Back to best. Tim Kelly: Quiet when needed. Andrew Gaff: Lacked influence. Jack Redden: Worked hard, no impact. Xavier O'Neill: Showed promise. Luke Shuey: Injured early, missed.
Forwards
Jack Darling: Missed easy goals. Oscar Allen: Battled valiantly. Jamie Cripps: Pressure was good. Liam Ryan: Electric but wasteful. Willie Rioli: Quiet afternoon. Jake Waterman: Invisible performance.
Rucks
Nic Naitanui: Dominated hitouts. Bailey Williams: Needs more game time.
The Eagles will need to regroup quickly as they face a tough run of fixtures. Coach Adam Simpson will be looking for significant improvement across the board.
