Bombing it too much to the Eagles' flood. So we're not getting the most of our dominance.

West Coast 0.1-1

Goals: Stahl 2

Good pressure. Ball in our forward half and rarely got past centre. Wet footy day so need to play K.I.S.S. footy.

Half-time

Richmond    2.2    3.6-24
West Coast  0.1    0.2-2

Goals: Stahl 2, Brennan 1.

Eagles had the first 6 inside 50s but after that we lifted our pressure and workrate and the ball once again spent most of the time in our forward half with us getting repeat entries. Tough conditions but we should be further in front. We missed at least two chances that should have been kicked.
