The bloke, who spent all last year claiming Dusty would be playing for the Gold Coast, is now claiming Richmond is one of four Victorian clubs after Zak Butters.
"There are now four Victorian clubs who are aware that his head may be turned, not next year during free agency, but at the end of this season."

Four Victorian powerhouse clubs in race to sign under contract Port Adelaide superstar

Four Victorian powerhouse clubs will attempt to lure Port Adelaide superstar Zak Butters this year, despite being contracted for 2026.
The back-to-back Power best and fairest winner becomes a free agent at the end of 2026, and Footy Classified's Sam McClure says Essendon, Richmond, Hawthorn and Collingwood believe he is gettable this year.
"There are now four Victorian clubs who are aware that his head may be turned not next year during free agency, but at the end of this season," McClure told Nine's Footy Classified.
"Now there is a myriad of reasons why they think that the Bacchus Marsh boy may do that. One being that Port Adelaide might not be the powerhouse that Zak Butters was hoping they would be, particularly going into this year.
"The second crucial element of this is that Zak Butters is one of a select few at Port Adelaide who has developed an extremely close bond to Ken Hinkley.
"Hinkley is leaving at the end of the year. It's not to say he doesn't have a good relationship with Josh Carr, but those four clubs think that he might be on the chopping block as soon as this year."
McClure added that the Power may be more likely to let go of Butters this year, given the significant compensation they would receive via a trade, as opposed to free agency.
"(They may let him leave) If Port don't have the year that they were hoping for and all of a sudden you're getting offered high-end draft picks, particularly by the likes of Richmond and Essendon, both of whom have two first round picks in the upcoming draft," he said.
Butters has missed the start of the season after undergoing knee surgery and is expected to miss up to another month.
He has also previously been linked with the Western Bulldogs.

No thanks. List is nowhere near where it needs to be to have the luxiary of trading multiple first rounds picks. We should be using all our first round picks for the foreseeable future.

Trading older players, I thing WCE and FREO are seeing the folly in this with Graham and Bolton, Baker is going OK and Dan Rioli is struggling.
Personally while we will have a lot of pain to come I prefer our modus operandi.
Pity about Davidson as he is looking to be pretty handy.

Rioli struggling ??? Can’t be serious.
As for Bolton, he’s been injured and just getting rolling.
Give them more than 3 minutes before assessing.
As for the folly of trading for older players. Shame the Nank, Lynch, Prestia, Caddy etc experiment crashed and burned so badly. If only we won some flags to make it less of a folly. Oh, hang on.

Reid is the only player I would even consider giving up those picks for.....Butters fmd....good player but not two early first round picks good... :shh

Just depends on where your list sits. We are at rock bottom atm. Absolutely does not make sense to burn 2-3 real top end first rounders to trade a player in regardless of how good they are. For sides needed to take the next step then trading in talent is absolutely worth it. Freo and GC (although I’ll die on the hill that no half back is worth 2 first round picks) wont be complaining and neither were we with all our ins around the 2016-2020 years.
We should be hitting the draft hard over the next few years with all our first rounders and target free agents and players we can trade in with 2nd rounders and beyond imo.

Agree with a lot of that TK
Was more in response to what Mint said, which I thought was mostly nonsense.
We should be hitting drafts hard. One thing I will say is that I'd have no problem trading draft assets for players that fit the timeline, like Reid etc.
Zero point in trading for older players currently.

Richmond will be one of the clubs monitoring Henry Hustwaite’s availability if his playing time situation doesn’t improve by seasons end.
The midfielder has been in electric form in the VFL and will find it hard for a seniors place in the midfield.
Richmond were big admirers of Hustwaite in his draft year but went in another direction
One to watch!

Just go to the draft again, let the others teams fight over players for now.
The time to bring in players will be 5 years time and via free agency, not trades.

Damo, I don’t want to get into a statistics fight over this
As Denuto said it’s a vibe thing, and it really doesn’t matter because those ex RFC guys will only get worse, plug it has happened and better to put a positive read on it than a glass half empty.
But respectfully take your comments on board

10 AFL players on the fringes at their clubs… and why rivals could soon circle
Foxsports
3 April 2025
ALEX DAVIES (Gold Coast Suns)
Age: 23
Drafted: Pre-listed rookie, 2020
AFL games: 32
Contract status: Signed until 2026
NED MOYLE (Gold Coast Suns)
Age: 23
Drafted: Pick 5, 2021 mid-season draft
AFL games: 10
Contract status: Signed until 2028
JAKE RICCARDI (GWS GIANTS)
Age: 25
Drafted: Pick 51, 2019
AFL games: 69
Contract status: Signed until 2026
LEEK ALEER (GWS GIANTS)
Age: 23
Drafted: Pick 15, 2021
AFL games: 12
Contract status: Signed until 2025
LEWIS HAYES (Essendon)
Age: 20
Drafted: Pick 25, 2022
AFL games: 0
Contract status: Signed until 2026
HENRY HUSTWAITE (Hawthorn)
Age: 20
Drafted: Pick 37, 2022
AFL games: 6
Contract status: Signed until 2026
Jon Ralph says: “He’s a fascinating one. He’s in an interesting position there – 38 possessions (in the VFL against North Melbourne) and as we saw in the summer documentary: ‘Do you think I can play half-back, coach? Where can I play?’ The issue is not that he won’t get a chance at some stage, but James Worpel is out of the side and he’s still not in at the moment. It’s just that he’s probably that player who’s a bit slower – an inside mid who’s not a great spreader – and they’ve already got James Worpel, Cam Mackenzie is not an identical player but reasonably similar, Conor Nash is a bid-bodied inside mid, we know about Jai Newcombe. I think if he forecasts his next five years, I’m sure he’s thinking to himself: ‘I’m not sure I have that role in that team.’ And I don’t think he can play half-back. He’s contracted until next year, I’m sure he’d love to stay at that club, but I’m sure he’d have his head turned by some big offers with three and four-year deals at clubs who desperately need young inside midfielders of his potential.”

Tell him to re-sign at the eagles then we can go for him in FA. We need all our early picks to build our list out.
-
I seriously don’t want Reid, his cost will be far too high. He isn’t gauranteed to be a good long term player either, atleast if we keep the picks which we get 2 or more likely 3 chances at getting it right

He's a good a guarantee of being a long term gun as we've seen from a kid in the last decade. His form this year is irrelevent, a mere blip. :shh

Guys if TDK leaves blues what's the best draft pick they will receive? I think the formula is draft pick after their one, though they may change it to suit themselves Z
I feel our second pick this year may not be until the mid 20's once all things are considered. We need to find another first rounder.

We don't have a second rounder this year. Traded it to Freo.
Either way we shouldn't be giving up high picks for a ruck, most overrated position in the game. Gawn the last ruck to be the difference in a flag - before that who? Simon Madden? :shh

Your correct FJ, TDK leaving wont impact us unless the blues finish below us.
Based only on sides I could realistically see finishing below us or the kangas (since we have their pick), in terms of free agents I think we only have to worry about Oscar Allen and Sam Draper potentially leaving as compos which could slide our picks.

No all good
Don't want him or any ruck.. We need a second rounder if we have traded it out. Short has to go at the very least.

Would anyone have a dip at Rowell?

Not for me, he would cost too much and our new drafted mids would be left in the cold, IMVHO

GUn but not really the point of difference we require. Need speed & footskills now. (Unless it's another Dusty/Lalor like Reid -who ain't slow, can play forward and is only a year older than our draftees.) :shh
-
Would anyone have a dip at Rowell?
Reckon he's a gun
But no from me, I'm backing in our kids now and the ones we get this year.
So many greenshoots so far this season, just going to enjoy the ride
-
I am not sure we need to go after a gun mid - if Hotten and Smillie end up as hits then we should have the weapons in there. If not, I would target this draft. We need a ruck to replace Nank and ideally a gun key forward in free agency. Lynch’s game on the weekend proved a mature key forward is absolutely critical to our forward 50 entries

Definitely need pace. Hopefully Hotton or Alger can do that.
And I agree on the ruck situation although I'm worried drafting one now will leave us with a period after Nank's retirement where we won't have a decent mature one.
As for the key forward situation, I've seen lots from Faull and Armstrong to be happy about. I'm hoping that Lynch can go another year and maybe Lefau can just fill the big body role until they're ready. Chasing an established one will be difficult and expensive.
-
Sorry Andy, I meant trade for a ruck and go for key position through fa. Gut says they went large of key position talent as they know it’s probably not worth another throw at the stumps this year (unless they go for that 200cm kid).
In 2-3 years, we’ll have a good line of sight on the 4 we picked up in this draft plus whether we will end up seeing the best of Gibcus.
So, draft for mids and pace, trade or FA for the proven key position talent and rucks

Yeah agree re: ruck.
Not against FA forwards but who are the options? You'd want someone with 5+ years available in them but I suppose we have the opportunity to front load a contract with our young lost and Lynch coming OOC.
-
Realistically the only decent KPF FA this year is Allen and it looks like the pressure has gone to his head
-
Reid is all we Neid. :shh
-

I’d be waiting a couple if years to see who’s available.
Jamara, Tilthorpe are the top picks from that draft but both most likely won’t be available.
Olly Lord might be a good option by 2028.
-
Jamarra?
Makes Sydney Stack look like a good boy
No thanks ..

Hard no on JUH. He's clearly a tosser.
Thilthorpe no chance.
I said years ago we should go after Fogarty but he's realising his potential now and also will be off the table for sure.

:lol :lol you're obsessed with Harley

Forget about JUH. He won’t be playing AFL ever again
-
It’s not my decision I know but I feel we will go to the draft again, Reid would cost us 3 first round picks and that just doesn’t stack up. A club who thinks their close to winning a flag will pay well over for him in a bidding earn, if he goes.
-
Reid would be brilliant, but I would sell the farm for him. Maybe one of the first rounders and maybe a future 1st. But certainly not 3 and not our two picks from 1 draft.

Agree 100%

I'd be keen on Reid if we can get it done for our two top-10 picks this year.

Not going to lie, I'd be interested too tbh.
He doesn't look happy other there. Suspect once he's back in Vic and settled he will take off.
How's this year's draft crop looking?
We might not be so lucky to get 2&3. We could end up finishing higher if there's FA compo or WCE get a priority pick. If WCE gets both they will have picks 1 + 2 + 3 and we'd have 4 + 5, and I reckon they'd look at their chances of taking the top 5 kids for their rebuild and say see ya HR.

I would be joining the dots on a Harley Reid play AND a free agency on a year or two later.
With Harley, maybe we get Butters a year later at free agency.
Having Lalor, Hotton and Harley join Taranto and Hopper in the midfield sounds a lot more appealing to a free agent.
That midfield surely wins 7-8 games and make our future look a hell of a lot brighter than a 3rd consecutive bottom 3 finish to a player like Butters
We then hit 2027 with a stacked midfield, hopefully a fully fit Gibcus partnering Balta and Trainor down back.
Tom Brown and potentially Seth Campbell on the wings and Armstrong, Faull and Sims up forward.
Presents well for a top 8 push that year.

Elijah Tsatas (Essendon)
Jon Ralph says: ‘When he does get in (to the Bombers’ AFL team), he plays as a flanker. He played against Adelaide and had those seven clearances. He looked electric, he looked so fantastic. My message to you, Elijah Tsatas: Find a way out of that football club. You need to find somewhere that values you.’ I understand they did a lot of work with him through David Rath on his kicking efficiency. He might not be an amazing kick, but he’s a clearance beast. Now Sam Durham is about to come back into that side, Will Setterfield – who’s only 27 – is playing great football and maybe does things off the ball that’s better than Elijah Tsatas. But he’s a Pick 5, he absolutely has talent and you’ve got to find a club – wherever that is, whether that’s North Melbourne or Richmond – that would say: ‘We value you and we’ll give you some elite centre square opportunities.’”

Five trade targets for EVERY AFL team: Richmond Tigers
Having opted for list regeneration, what are some young acquisitions the Tigers can make for a limited cost?
Harrison McIlwaine
zerohanger.com
July 9, 2025
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...
1. Elijah Tsatas
Essendon's top five draft pick from 2022 has amassed less than 30 disposals only once at VFL level this season, but knocks on his ball use continue to plague the Oakleigh Chargers product.
Finding the football has proven no issue at the top level either, with 25 disposals and 11 clearances from just 63% game time against Adelaide in Round 3 supporting this. The upside with the 187cm midfielder is glaring.
Contracted until the end of 2026, the Tigers could conceivably pinch Tsatas from under Essendon's nose for a meagre return at the trade table. If they can improve his disposal, it presents as a low-risk, high-reward acquisition for a Tigers side rather obviously prioritising youth under second-year coach Adem Yze.
It also doesn't hurt that Tsatas grew up as a Richmond supporter.
2. Campbell Chesser
The Sandringham Dragons product is yet to feature at AFL level for the West Coast Eagles this season, after 32 appearances across 2023 and 2024, in what is a contract year.
Last season particularly, Chesser treated long-suffering Eagles fans to glimpses of the line-breaking athleticism that characterised his draft profile, but issues pertaining to his body have dogged the 22-year-old in his career's early sledding, with ankle surgery delaying the commencement of his 2025 campaign.
In his last WAFL outing, a 30-point victory over Subiaco, Chesser amassed 24 disposals and had five inside 50s, showcasing his ball-winning ability. This, coupled with a motor that saw him handed significant opportunity on a wing at AFL level last season, earmark him as another cheap potential acquisition to the Tigers' engine room.
3. Angus Sheldrick
AFL.com'sh Gabelich recently reported that the Sydney Swans have tabled an offer to keep 'Gus' Sheldrick in the Harbour City for another two years, having seemingly carved out a place for himself in Dean Cox's 23.
Amidst contract talks, the Claremont native has drawn significant interest from the Tigers, and fellow cellar-dwellers West Coast. The hard nut is a much-loved member of the Bloods' young core, and the ball-winning midfielder appears likely to sign with the Swans, but his services would be welcomed at Punt Road, especially for the relatively low asking price he would likely command.
Since being freed of the shackles of substitution in Round 16, Sheldrick has averaged just under 20 disposals and four clearances a game, despite failing to register more than 74% game time in each contest in that period.
His strength is feeding handballs to Sydney's suite of outside runners, and his disposal by foot can be patchy, but for his ball-winning alone, it would be remiss of Blair Hartley and co. to not have a throw at the stumps.
4. Sam Flanders
The versatile Suns utility has the longest tenure remaining at his current club of any player on this list, but the Gippsland native would also represent the largest coup of any of these potential acquisitions.
Contracted until the end of 2027, Flanders has excelled in a myriad of roles since his 2020 debut, most notably, in a distributing role off half-back, in 2024.
The 446 metres gained per game he registered last year would go some way to filling the void created by the departure of Flanders' current teammate Dan Rioli, from Tigerland, at the end of last season.
His clean ball use also presents a point of difference to other potential targets on this list, registering no seasons below 70% disposal efficiency since his rookie year.
5. Xavier 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.
