ROUND 16 - STURT v WEST - RICHMOND OVAL - 8/7/00
 
 
It was a narrow escape for Sturt on Saturday against West. A solid defence rebounded and repelled a lot of Blood's forward thrusts all day with the prime movers being Maloney, Thredgold, Powell, Robinson and Howman who took some great marks. Dean Woosnam played a good game in the wet conditions scoring 3.2 and Squire started off well kicking the Blues' first 2 goals. Andrew Whiteman continued to develop as a great midfielder picking up 14 kicks and 11 handballs scoring 1.1. Other prolific posession getters were Pitura (14 kicks, 5 handballs), Squire (14 kicks, 8 handballs), Geddes (9 kicks, 13 handballs), Weatherald (20 kicks, 2 handballs), Twitt (12 kicks, 10 handballs) and Curtis (12 kicks, 8 handballs).
