Richmond has emerged as a fascinating watch ahead of this year's trade, free agency and draft space as they near the end of their first season under coach Adem Yze.
Currently holding Pick 1 for this year's AFL Draft, the Tigers could significantly add to an already strong draft hand should they lose several senior cogs and premiership stalwarts through the player movement space.
While the imminent draft additions will go a long way in their pursuit to return to the top end of the ladder, the Tigers will likely look to the current crop of players in the AFL who could aid their plans from 2025 onwards through trading.
So who might be in the Tigers' sights this off-season? We've named five potential trade targets for Richmond to consider...
OTHER TRADE TARGETS: ADELAIDE, BRISBANE, CARLTON, COLLINGWOOD, ESSENDON, FREMANTLE, GEELONG, GOLD COAST, GWS, HAWTHORN, MELBOURNE, NORTH MELBOURNE, PORT ADELAIDE
3. Dan Houston
Much like Tsatas, if recent trade speculation surrounding Houston grows stronger, then Richmond should be among the clubs looking to take advantage of the situation.
The All-Australian defender won't come cheap, but the Tigers could have the pick(s) needed to satisfy the Power while also holding their opening selection for this year's count at the very least.
And with the number of potential roles available in midfield at Punt Road from 2025 onwards, could the Tigers offer Houston a role in the centre of the field to complement the contested ball-winning nous of Tim Taranto and Jacob Hopper?
Houston wouldn't get in the way of the development of Richmond's young midfielders either as he can return to his more traditional role in defence as part of his rotations.
