Richmond just continues to go from strength to strength after winning the 2019 premiership and their team remains fairly intact from the trade period to no surprise really.
Despite losing the likes of Brandon Ellis (Gold Coast) and Dan Butler (St Kilda) during the trade period, the Tigers get back star back-man Alex Rance from injury after missing 2019 in its entirety to go along with the returning premiership core in all parts of the ground, led by stars Dustin Martin, Jack Riewoldt, Tom Lynch, Dylan Grimes and Trent Cotchin.
The Tigers also have the depth to cover all avenues, with young talent such as Liam Baker, Patrick Naish, Jack Ross, Mabior Chol, Noah Balta and Callum Coleman-Jones all waiting in the wings ready to contribute when called upon, while Jack Higgins could also make a return at some point after suffering brain bleeding during 2019.
Richmond will be just as potent in 2020 and will look to go back-to-back and again be right up there in the premiership race.
