United States FOLLOW LIVE: West Coast Eagles face must-win clash with Richmond Tigers
West Coast must win against the Tigers to avoid the worst start to a season in club history, a loss moving the Eagles to 0-5.
And star No.1 draft pick Harley Reid will have plenty to say about the result as he faces one of his idols, Dustin Martin.
The 18-year-old has modelled his game on the Brownlow medallist and boasts a fend-off just as impressive as Martin’s.
But Richmond are missing key troops in Noah Balta, Tim Taranto and Tom Lynch.
Can the Eagles take advantage on their home turf, or will they remain winless?
Follow all the action with our live blog.
