Nick Dal Santo has revealed he believes the Richmond football club currently have the best forward line in the competition.

During the trade period, the Tigers went from strength to strength by adding Gold Coast superstar Tom Lynch to what was already a prominent forward line.

Speaking on SEN Breakfast, Dal Santo says Damien Hardwick's team now has all the bases covered in attack.

“They might have had arguably the greatest forward line anyway,” Dal Santo said.

“The way they get that forward line to operate – you go Tom Lynch, Jack Riewoldt, Josh Caddy, Jack Higgins, Daniel Rioli and Kane Lambert.

“I think that is the best forward line structure in the competition - it’s got talls, it’s got Caddy as that roaming third tall, it’s got forward line pressure and it’s got goal kickers.

“That is the best forward line in the comp right now.”
