Former coach Steven Stroobants played his best match of the season by kicking four goals as the skilful Kaiden Antonowicz and Brock Harvey booted three each.

Best for the Bloods were ruckman Callum Crisp, on-ballers Anthony Zimmerman, Joel Swatton and Brody Haddow as Josh Nitschke and Steven Stroobants won plenty of the footy.
