YOUNG TIGER EYES TRIGGER
RICHMOND rookie Seth Campbell will trigger a contract extension after the Tigers' early-season bye.
The 19-year-old was limited to just five VFL games in his first season at Punt Road due to injury and only secured an extension in September.
But after a strong pre-season, new Richmond coach Adem Yze rewarded him with a debut and has played the Tasmanian across the first six games of the 2024 season.
Campbell kicked two games against Gold Coast in Opening Round and has shown he can handle the intensity at AFL level since then, rewarding the club’s faith in him last year.

Richmond is expected to rework an extension in the coming weeks for Campbell and reward the small forward with a two-year deal.
Tigers GMs Blair Hartley and Tim Livingstone have a number of list management decisions to make this year on a wide range of premiership players.
Dustin Martin, Dion Prestia, Dylan Grimes, Toby Nankervis, Kamdyn McIntosh and Jack Graham are all out of contract.
Unlike the names above, Liam Baker is not a free agent but is out of contract and is weighing up his future.
While those decisions will take time, Campbell's early-season rise has taken care of one piece of list management for Richmond. – Josh Gabelich
