Richmond can put a big dent in the Eagles’ top-two chances with victory in the season’s most influential home-and-away game. David King asks should the Tigers try something or keep their powder dry for September?

YOU don’t have to look hard to find an expert with a question mark over West Coast. They are about to get an emphatic answer from a genuine premiership threat, writes David King.
