But it was Nic Naitanui who hogged the highlights reel in the first half at Patersons Stadium.
His best trick was an effortless one-handed mark on the wing in the second quarter.
With Richmond attempting to clear its backline, the young ruckman floated across a forming pack on the Chris Mainwaring Wing and, using his right hand, juggled a graceful one-handed grab.
He kept his feet and fired a quick handball to the passing Matt Rosa, with the passage ending with a Dean Cox goal that sparked a second-quarter run for West Coast.
The Eagles looked like they were running away with the game but the Tigers, inspired by Jack Riewoldt, rallied and trimmed the margin to 27 points by the final change.
