Holding the weakest draft hand among all 18 clubs in the competition, Richmond are set for a narrowed focus come draft night - with their sights reportedly set on bolstering their key-forward stocks.

Richmond's current hand of Pick 53 and 63 leaves the Punt Road club with just 345 draft points ahead of next month's National Draft, a tally almost half of the next lowest in Adelaide at 683.

Their depleted selections stocks come after a high-profile trade window that saw the Tigers secure GWS star duo Tim Taranto and Jacob Hopper in separate deals.

Richmond parted with Picks 12, 19, 31 and their future first-round selection to attain the midfield pair, while gaining their only two current selections from the Giants as part of the Hopper trade.

With their midfield now set for the coming years, the Tigers are said to be turning their attention to key forwards at the draft, according toย The Herald Sun.

Richmond plucked North Adelaide tall attacker Jacob Bauer through the 2022 Mid-Season Draft and could again look toward South Australia to further add to their key-forward depths.

The Tigers will be hopeful one of West Adelaide pair Tom Scully (203cm/89kg) or Harry Lemmey (200cm/95kg) could still be on offer come their first selection on draft night.

With a multitude of father-son selections likely to arise in the early rounds of the draft, Richmond's opening pick at 53rd overall is likely to advance up the order by the end of the second round, while any matched Academy bids after Pick 40 will also help their case.

Both Scully and Lemmey were considered among the top 20 prospects early into this year, however could now find themselves falling early into the third round.

Richmond's interest in a new-age key-forward comes as champion Tiger Jack Riewoldt enters what will likely be his last season in yellow and black.

Damien Hardwick will be keen to find a suitable partner for reigning Jack Dyer Medal winner Tom Lynch after Riewoldt's departure, with swingman Noah Balta one of several options for the Tigers.

Bauer was unable to break into Richmond's senior side after joining the club in June, but firms as a project talent for the club.

The National Draft will commence on Monday, November 28 and will take place over two nights, with the rounds two and onwards taking place on Tuesday, November 29.
