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...
5Xavier O'Halloran
Playing a blend of midfield and high half-forward, Xavier O'Halloran has made a name for himself at AFL level.
Selected late in the first round of the 2018 National Draft, O'Halloran averages three score involvements a game across his 82-game career, in an often thankless position.
In 2025, the St Bernard's junior is averaging career highs in disposals and metres gained per game in a contract year. If the Tigers can turn his head, he presents as another cheap acquisition, and at just 24, with his prime approaching, O'Halloran could anchor their midfield mix for the next decade.
