Wed 18 Jul, 2012 RICHMONDFree agents: Nathan Foley, Luke McGuane (restricted), Kelvin Moore, Shane Tuck (unrestricted).
Update: There's been no reported interest in this four from other clubs. Foley would have his admirers but his history of Achilles injuries might ward off suitors. McGuane is only 25 but his currency is low, while Moore and Tuck are too near the end of their careers to attract interest. It would surprise if any of this quartet were to leave the club for another through the free-agency system.
Potential targets: Richmond’s priority is to develop young talent, so it's unlikely to make a huge play for anyone towards the end of his career. Apart from the obvious target of Brendon Goddard, the player who just might attract the Tigers' interest is Brisbane Lions defender and midfielder Jed Adcock, who would add flint to a team that's still a bit flakey.
From the club: "Like every other club, we'll certainly look at the players available, but that's something we'll keep indoors." - Tigers coach Damien Hardwick
We're also mentioned under the Suns, Port and Saints segments ...
GOLD COAST
Potential targets: Queenslander Luke McGuane (Richmond) would complement its list.
PORT ADELAIDE
Update: Richmond has been linked to Chaplin in recent times, although the Power maintain they're in negotiations to re-sign him.
ST KILDA
Potential targets: The Saints will have their work cut out keeping their own out-of-contract players but they'd be mad not to actively seek a key defender. Richmond pair Luke McGuane and Kelvin Moore haven't had much of a look in at Tigerland and could be cheap acquisitions.
