Richmond has emerged as a fascinating watch ahead of this year's trade, free agency and draft space as they near the end of their first season under coach Adem Yze.
Currently holding Pick 1 for this year's AFL Draft, the Tigers could significantly add to an already strong draft hand should they lose several senior cogs and premiership stalwarts through the player movement space.
While the imminent draft additions will go a long way in their pursuit to return to the top end of the ladder, the Tigers will likely look to the current crop of players in the AFL who could aid their plans from 2025 onwards through trading.
So who might be in the Tigers' sights this off-season? We've named five potential trade targets for Richmond to consider...
OTHER TRADE TARGETS: ADELAIDE, BRISBANE, CARLTON, COLLINGWOOD, ESSENDON, FREMANTLE, GEELONG, GOLD COAST, GWS, HAWTHORN, MELBOURNE, NORTH MELBOURNE, PORT ADELAIDE
1. Jai Culley
The former Mid-Season Draft Pick 1 selection remains without a contract at West Coast with five games left in the season and Saturday's appearance against the Saints was just his second at AFL level for the year.
Injuries have taken their toll on the Dandenong Stingrays product, who returned from an ACL injury in Round 13 before facing further setbacks in just his second full season with the Eagles.
His uncertain future in Perth could spark some intrigue from clubs in his home state who are keen to add to their midfield stocks without paying a high price, and Richmond could be one club to show some interest.
Given the potential loss of Liam Baker to the Eagles, Culley could be a 'steak knives' addition in negotiations to potentially get a deal over the line.
Culley himself could look to grow into the role Baker has held under Adem Yze this season, roaming across half-forward and through the middle when relied upon.
