1. Tom Lynch (Richmond)

It was the worst-kept secret of the 2018 season - Lynch was always going to leave the Suns at last years trade period, nominating Richmond as his preferred club of choice over Collingwood.

The 26 year-old signed a monster seven-year deal with the 2017 premiers and has high expectations heading into this season. Lynch is expected to debut for the Tigers in round according to Tigers GM Neil Balme despite nursing a knee injury suffered last season. Once the star forward gets up and running, look out.
