WEST Coast proved too strong for a young Richmond side in the first match simulation of the day, but of more concern for the Tigers was an injury to No.1 pick Sam Lalor.
Lalor suffered a concussion after a nasty collision in a marking contest in the dying stages of the hitout. The 18-year-old was assessed by medical staff as he lay on the ground before walking off the field.
Lalor has entered the AFL's concussion protocols and will miss the club's AAMI Community Series game against Collingwood next week.

In the second match of the day, Geelong and Hawthorn played out an entertaining game at GMHBA Stadium with the Cats prevailing by 20 points.
Ollie Henry starred with four goals, while fans from both sides got to see their new recruits in action with Bailey Smith in the blue and white hoops for the first time, and Josh Battle playing his first game for the Hawks.
The next match sim will be on Thursday when Gold Coast hosts both Brisbane and Collingwood at People First Stadium in a three-way hitout that is set to see each club play the others for two quarters each.
