With the last three No. 1 AFL draft picks in action on Sunday, it was Richmond's that stood out.

Sam Lalor, who has had an injury-interrupted start to his career, kicked a game-high three goals in his side's third win for the year, an 11-point victory over West Coast.

"Sammy's in, I think, his 18th game, and Taj Hotton and Sam Cumming, they're all similar," coach Adem Yze said post-match.

"We know what they're going to become, and I've been talking about this and I'll keep reiterating the same message around feeling like they can belong on an AFL field.

"Sammy's felt, he's looked like he's belonged the first minute he's walked out there. But it still takes time.

"So we're just scratching the surface with Sammy and a lot of our high talent. We've just got to get him out there for longer.

"If you're sitting in the stands watching some of these young lads grow, you'd be pretty excited if you're a Tiger supporter."

Yze was asked about an incident involving Luke Trainor and the Eagles' Jack Williams.

"I didn't see it, but obviously if he's gone and done something wrong, we'll look at all those things. But yeah, I'm not too sure. I'm not sure how hard the impact was and things like that," Yze said.

"I think there has been a few fines over the last few occasions when things like this have happened. So hopefully we can get that type of result."

Yze confirmed that youngster Sam Cumming injured his ankle in the fourth quarter.

"He's rolled his ankle," Yze said.

"He's a tough kid. He wanted to get back out there. So we gave him that chance. But the minute we saw that his gait was a little bit out of whack and he was trying to fight his way through there, he's too important for us.

"If he'd gone and done something else, we'd be kicking ourselves. So yeah, we just iced him for the last part of the quarter. So he'll go through the normal scans and hopefully it's not too bad."
