Western Bulldogs senior coach Luke Beveridge says while he’s pleased to come away with the four points against the Crows, there’s plenty of growth left in the team.

Oskar Baker’s best party trick of the night put his side in front with two minutes to play, marking the Dogs’ first win over Adelaide in South Australia since 2010.

Beveridge was impressed with Baker’s heroics, but more so the maturity of the group when there were some timing concerns late.

“(Oskar’s) got great leg speed – even to break out into space,” Beveridge told media post-game.

“At his best he can kick it well, and it was a pretty important one at the end of the game. I’m really happy for him. He’s had a really good start to the season.

“The difficult thing for both teams was that the clock stopped, so no one knew what the time was until it got to about five or six minutes to go.

“I think everyone was flustered because you weren’t sure how urgent it was based on (the fact) the clock wasn’t ticking down, but I thought our players managed it pretty well.”

The Dogs will now head into a Round 3 bye, with their next challenge against Essendon on Easter Sunday.

Beveridge said there’s still a few things to tidy up ahead of that clash.

“You take the win any day of the week. I think both teams, behind closed doors, will talk about how it was a pretty messy game. There was a lot of pressure in it, it was pretty wet,” he said.

“It wasn’t the cleanest game skill-wise and both teams made a lot of mistakes. So once again, I’m ultra-proud of the boys to hold sway under pretty significant pressure in the last quarter.

“We’ll take those chocolates and fly back with a contentment about the result, but there’s a lot to work on.”

The Bulldogs enter the bye undefeated, with a 16-day break before their next outing.
