LIVE AFL: Carnage! Dusty subbed, 'disconsolate' star's latest blow as Eagles 'won't go away'
“How about the chain of handballs? That’s what they’ve done in this quarter. Healy added: “It’s a different looking Eagles the way they move the ball compared to the kick-mark game of the past decade.” There were no late changes for either side. After Jason Castagna kicked the first goal of the term, the Eagles kicked six of the next eight goals of the game to cut Richmond’s lead to just 11 points late in the final term. West Coast (2-12, 55.8%) has looked a different side since the bye and looks set to pose a much bigger threat in the run home than it did in the opening half of the season.

RICHMOND has overcome the loss of superstar Dustin Martin to a hamstring injury in an important 35-point win over West Coast. The Tigers moved back into the ...
West Coast had more inside 50s and more scoring shots than Richmond, but failed to make the most of its forward forays, leaving fans to question the wisdom of 'managing' 33-year-old Josh Kennedy to spare him the four-hour flight. Kennedy's cool head and accurate boot might have made a big difference as the Eagles surged in the third quarter. As many stars as the Eagles have had on the sidelines this year, there's no doubt Nic Naitanui's absence has hurt them the most. Richmond's return to form has been done with minimum input from superstar Dustin Martin, but if the Tigers are going to be a threat in September they need their finals specialist back at his best. Nic Nat and the Eagles may yet cause plenty of pain to finals aspirants over the next seven rounds. Then everything went awry, with the three-time Norm Smith medalist being subbed out early in the third quarter with 'hamstring awareness'. Damien Hardwick and 100,000 Richmond fans will be hoping it's nothing more than that.
Dustin Martin has been subbed out of Sunday's clash with the Eagles with “hamstring awareness”.
He finished with 40 disposals, nine clearances and 10 score involvements, and was best afield in a losing side. He led the hitouts and kicked a superb goal in the second term.

Jack Riewoldt had marked about 60 metres out for goal, when running defender Daniel Rioli ran past with Ryan on his tail. More importantly, Tim Kelly played his best game of the season, seemingly thriving with Naitanui service.

Sure, he might be playing a different role in comparison to the one he played at North Melbourne, but he’s looked terribly out of sorts this year; very fumbly and very unsure about his decisions with the ball in his hands. I’m not expecting him to be Nic Naitanui – let’s face it, there never has been nor will there ever be a footballer quite like Nic Nat – but in the absence of Josh Kennedy, and with Jack Darling having a quiet afternoon, being able to drift forward and take a few big grabs would have been invaluable and cemented his spot in the team. Now, it is true that there is more to it than raw numbers – where shots were taken, who took them, how tired the kicker was are all factors that can impact the accuracy or otherwise of a team in front of the big sticks. A lot of people would remember a performance like that and approach the next meeting with some trepidation. Obviously, it’s been a year marred with injury, so maybe that’s just the way of him not being able to run out a full game just yet, but he has been a best 22 player for the best part of the last five years. If he can find himself hitting the scoreboard more, or at least finding more continuity in his influence in Richmond’s scores (only the one score involvement, which was his goal), then he’s going to be a very damn good player for them. Yes, there were two late misses from Jack Riewoldt, and one from Shane Edwards that you would expect both to kick in their sleep, but there were more than a few examples of less than 50-50 chances being converted for the yellow and black. He had 28 pressure acts in this game, the most of not just any Tiger out on the ground, but of all players. In contrast to last week’s effort, where West Coast’s efficiency inside forward 50 made up for the lack of entries, this week it was their lack of efficiency inside forward 50 despite their ascendancy further up the ground, which lost them the game. It felt like he was everywhere in this game and did so much with his 28 disposals; he set up his mates for a couple of goals, providing good links with his run and dash. I’ve found it really hard to pick one player from Richmond to single out as the match-winner, such was the evenness of their performance. Now, we find the teams in very different positions, but both were eager to make a statement in this game.
