Richmond and GWS have finalised a trade that has seen Giants star Jacob Hopper join the Tigers, however ruckman Ivan Soldo has not been included in the deal.
The deal sees the Tigers secure their second big name of the off-season, with Hopper joining fellow GWS departure and midfielder Tim Taranto in heading to Punt Road.
The pair are understood to have signed seven-year deals to join Richmond in what is the latest blow for GWS.
The Giants haven't gained Soldo, who was floated as a potential trade asset, but have acquired Richmond's future first-round selection and Pick 31, while picks 53 and 63 are also part of the trade and head to the Tigers.
Trade paperwork lodged.

The Giants have already bid farewell to Tanner Bruhn and Bobby Hill in trades with Geelong and Collingwood respectively.
They have been able to add to their list however, with Toby Bedford joining Adam Kingsley's army for 2023.
Soldo was seen as a sweetener to land Hopper, however the Tigers and Giants have secured a trade without the ruckman included.
The 2022 Trade Period deadline is set to end at 7:30pm (AEDT) on Wednesday night.
