RICHMOND

Backs: There's decent depth here. Alex Rance, David Astbury and Dylan Grimes are the keys, while Ryan Garthwaite is a talented apprentice. Noah Balta can play at both ends, and Jayden Short and Nick Vlastuin are set for more responsibility.

Midfield: It could do with some bolstering after they saw off a host of depth in trade period. Another inside mid or wingman wouldn't hurt in case of injury, given their charmed run in that department surely won't always continue.

Forwards: They're fine for key forwards. They want more out of Shai Bolton, potentially on the wing, while Dan Rioli and Jack Higgins have been earmarked for more midfield minutes. They're set for a forward-line restructure, but look to have enough pieces to play with.

Rucks: Could do with another. Ivan Soldo is a developing back-up option for Toby Nankervis, but two have retired in the past 12 months with undersized option Shaun Grigg to follow in the coming years.

The priority: Best available midfielders and maybe one who can fill a run-with role down the track. A project tall wouldn't be a bad idea either to boost their ruck depth.
