With the most successful era in the club's history rapidly shrinking in the rearview mirror, those at Tigerland must turn their attention to architecting their next flag tilt.

This process began with an historic draft haul in 2024, and Richmond boast another two selections at the pointy end of the 2025 draft.

With a young core proving far more competitive than most predicted, and a coach stamping an identifiable game style on his impressionable group, there is reason for excitement at the club.

Who are some potential trade targets the Tigers can feasibly acquire without sacrificing their strong draft hand? We take a look...

The Sandringham Dragons product is yet to feature at AFL level for the West Coast Eagles this season, after 32 appearances across 2023 and 2024, in what is a contract year.

Last season particularly, Chesser treated long-suffering Eagles fans to glimpses of the line-breaking athleticism that characterised his draft profile, but issues pertaining to his body have dogged the 22-year-old in his career's early sledding, with ankle surgery delaying the commencement of his 2025 campaign.

In his last WAFL outing, a 30-point victory over Subiaco, Chesser amassed 24 disposals and had five inside 50s, showcasing his ball-winning ability. This, coupled with a motor that saw him handed significant opportunity on a wing at AFL level last season, earmark him as another cheap potential acquisition to the Tigers' engine room.
