Round 5, 2012 - West Coast Eagles vs Richmond

If 2011 was a pleasant surprise for the Eagles, 2012 was time to get serious. Coming agonisingly short of a Grand Final appearance the year before, the Eagles started 2012 on fire, winning their first four games to sit atop the AFL ladder. A trip to Victoria was next for John Worsfold's team, who hadn't beaten the Tigers in Melbourne since 2007.
