RICHMOND can move to the cusp of the top eight with a win against West Coast at Optus Stadium to wrap up a two-game Sunday.

The Tigers have won four of their past games to rocket back into finals contention, and another win over bottom-placed West Coast would leave them just two points outside the top eight.

Richmond (7-1-8) currently sits in 14th spot, six points out of the eight.

West Coast might take some confidence from its last home game when it almost got over the line against finals-bound St Kilda.

The Eagles ultimately went down by eight points in that game, but they led by more than 30 points at one stage in one of their best showings of the season.

West Coast's one win for the season came in round two against Greater Western Sydney.
