Richmond, off the back of an impressive bounce-back 2022 season, is preparing to embark on a fifth finals campaign in six seasons; symbolic of the club's list management successes over the course of the past decade.

Acquiring the likes of Dion Prestia, Toby Nankervis, Josh Caddy and Tom Lynch in recent off-seasons has helped spur the Tigers to premierships in 2017, 2019 and 2020, and they will hope future acquisitions can help aid further flag runs in the years to come.

Richmond signed lockdown defender Robbie Tarrant this past off-season and he has proven very valuable to the Tigers' cause this season, whether he's been among Richmond's best 22 or merely acting as quality defensive depth.

The Tigers are likely to be players during the upcoming trade and free agency period, as there will be holes to fill left by the likes of retiring stalwarts Shane Edwards along with the aforementioned Caddy, and veteran superstars Trent Cotchin and Jack Riewoldt edging increasingly closer to the end of their playing days.

All of that being said, we've compiled a list, in no particular order, of five targets that Richmond could target this off-season to help bolster its 2023 playing list.

OTHER TRADE TARGETS: ADELAIDE,ย BRISBANE,ย CARLTON,ย COLLINGWOOD,ย ESSENDON,ย FREMANTLE,ย GEELONG,ย GOLD COAST,ย GWS,ย HAWTHORN,ย MELBOURNE, PORT ADELAIDE

Riewoldt's retirement, as previously mentioned, is imminent. Whether its imminence is the conclusion of this year's finals series or the end of next season, Riewoldt's days are numbered.

The Tigers boast another spearhead forward by the name of Tom J. Lynch, but it could be argued he can't do it all on his own, which would spark a need for another key forward.

In 2022, Lobb has showcased his impressive high-marking tendencies, as well as a knack for snagging goals from improbable angles. In short, he's had a career-best year and, rightly, will be high in demand come the free agency and trade period.

Lobb has been rumoured to be heading to The Kennel to play for the Bulldogs next season, but a late Richmond charge cannot be ruled out.

Either way, Lobb is not out of contract until next season, meaning an exchange would need to be agreed upon by both sides, with the Tigers possessing the necessary draft capital.
