West Coast closed out their season and farewelled retiring premiership stars Chad Fletcher and Adam Hunter with a comprehensive win over Richmond. The Eagles built up a solid lead by halftime and then shut down the Tigers in the second half, holding them to a single goal. The 80 point margin could have been even greater had the home side not squandered multiple chances. Tom Swift, in his 10th senior game, was best on ground with 26 possessions and 10 tackles.

From the papers[]

The West Australian[]

"Richmond's only significant football came in a 10-minute block in the second-term.

They took control of the centre square, ran forward in numbers to trim the margin to 11 points.

Then, their world imploded. That was the sum total of Tigers good work, kicking 1.4 in the second half.

With Nic Naitanui and Adam Selwood reasserting control around the stoppages, the Eagles coasted to a 33-point lead by the big break."[1]
