With the 2023 AFL season about to get underway, a possible 35 players will be running out in new colours after a busy 2022 trade period.

Let's have a look at some of the big name recruits who will be looking for strong seasons at their new clubs this year...

5. Tim Taranto

Another big-name recruit, Taranto joined Richmond on a seven-year deal after six seasons at the GWS Giants.

Taranto was taken at Pick No.2 in the 2016 AFL draft, going on to make his debut in Round 1, 2017, where he played 14 games including the Giants' semi-final win against West Coast and their preliminary final loss to Richmond.

A rising star nomination came in 2017 after his 21-disposal and five-tackle effort in GWS' win over Collingwood.

Taranto won the GWS best and fairest ward in 2019 in his career-best season, averaging 27 disposals and six tackles a game.

Taranto continued to rack up strong numbers last season, averaging 25 disposals and 13 kicks a game.

Taranto is a welcome inclusion into Richmond's Round 1 team to face Carlton.
