WEST Coast were pulling out the party tricks in the second quarter against Adelaide at AAMI Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

An errant ball inside 50 was made good by the fancy footwork of Jack Darling, who kicked the ball miraculously off the ground to the running Luke Shuey as if it was all part of the plan.

Ball-magnet Matt Priddis then cruised past for the handball, cooly slotting a left-foot banana under extreme pressure as the Eagles surged to a 34-point lead at the major break.
