Update today from the AFL website .....

RICHMOND
Free agents:
Daniel Jackson (unrestricted)
Luke McGuane (unrestricted)
Chris Newman (unrestricted)
Shane Tuck (unrestricted)
Matthew White (unrestricted)

Sources suggest Luke McGuane is the Tiger free agent who will attract the most opposition interest this year. McGuane, 26, has reinvented himself as a high-marking forward alongside Jack Riewoldt and Tyrone Vickery this season and would appeal to teams light on for key forwards. The Tigers' task of re-signing their free agents is complicated by what already shapes as a busy year of contract negotiations, with captain Trent Cotchin, Jack Riewoldt, Dustin Martin, Reece Conca and Alex Rance among those coming out of contract this year. Matt White, 26, has played just two games this season and could interest teams looking to inject speed into their midfields. Daniel Jackson, 27, and former skipper Chris Newman, 31 on Saturday, should play on with the Tigers in 2014, but Shane Tuck, 31, could consider retirement.

Hopefully not before we get half a regurgitated cinnamon donut for White.
