Big names add grunt to Bloods Power-listed forward Robbie Gray in action for West Adelaide against the Eagles at Woodville. WEST Adelaide has improved. That was the opinion of Bloods coach Andrew Collins after the 2012 grand finalist dismantled Woodville-West Torrens at Woodville yesterday. Collins assessment was hard to disagree with for anyone who witnessed the 18.14 (122) to 7.8 (50) demolition, the Bloods showcasing the extra gear they've added to their engine in 2013, en route to their second straight triple figure score. It was the first time West had achieved the feat since Rounds 18 and 19, 2009, but importantly Collins's side showed the improved firepower hadn't come at the expense of its ability to choke opponents. The Eagles forwards were rendered practically useless with just four goals after quarter time on a hot, dry day. "Yes," Collins said when asked if his side had improved since its grand final humiliation against Norwood last year, although he hastened to add the addition of some AFL class helped its cause yesterday. "I think it does help when you've got a couple of really dominant AFL footballers," he said. Today, the class of Domenic Cassisi and Robbie Gray, even though other players might have got more of the ball, was significant. Gray was one of seven Bloods to kick two goals as West spread its 18 goals across 11 players, while Cassisi pressed his case for a Showdown spot with 24 touches. But the architects of West dominance were midfielders like Chris Schmidt (37 disposals) and Ryan Anderson. The Bloods simply ran harder than the Eagles in the heat, getting more numbers to every contest and showing a willingness to run both ways. The sides traded goals early but signs the Bloods might blow the match apart emerged before quarter time. West kicked four of the last five goals of the quarter, before kicking the only two of the second term. For a second week in a row, it was in the third term where the Bloods showcased their new gear, exposing holes in the Eagles with a contest-killing seven goals. "We've copped a lot of criticism for our lack of scoring but, from where we've come from it's been a good journey," said. We've used the model of Central District but we are also following Norwood as well. They had trouble scoring (before last year) and we've really worked on the offensive side of our game.
