I went to the game this morning- it was less than 10km away from my house . It was really easy to get to , just walked straight in and found a nice shady embankment opposite the goals .
It was really pleasing to see so much yellow and black walking about in the crowd. We really do have a large supporter base over here in the West .
As for the game itself- it was really uninspiring. Obviously expectations were low with such a young team . I really just wanted to see improvement from the likes of Mansell , Blight and Ross who according to reports have been “ training the house down “….didn’t see anything of note .
Once West Coast put some speed on the ball , we opened up with minimal resistance.
Typically , even through I had a nice spot behind the goals - the ball was barely in the Richmond forward line and all our goals were kicked at the opposite end .
Lalor is such an impressive size already, will dominate in a couple of years . Everyone’s heart sank when he went down and feared the worse , so relieved he was able walk off .
