Richo's Points: West Coast

Matthew Richardson previews the Round 14 match against West Coast.

1. Get the ball to ground

West Coast are the number one marking team in the AFL, averaging 82 marks a game. It’s a strength that the Eagles have across all their lines, and their ability to maintain possession is elite. If Richmond want to get the pressure levels high, they’ll have to disrupt the Eagles aerially and get the ball to ground.
