Richmond coach Damien Hardwick has ruled out recruiting fullback Zac Dawson, who has cut ties with St Kilda.
The Tigers have been linked with a number of key defenders during the off-season, but Hardwick said they were well-stocked in that department, barring injury.
Magpie John McCarthy will train with Richmond in the hope of resurrecting his AFL career.
The Tigers today applied for permission for McCarthy - cut by Collingwood after 18 games in four seasons - to train with the club.
Delisted Demon Addam Maric is also training with Richmond.
The Tigers hit the Tan track on Friday morning, with midfielder Matthew White in his usual position ahead of the field, completing the circuit in just over 13 minutes.
One absentee was forward Jake King, who suffered a knee injury in the International Rules series, but Hardwick said it wasn't a long-term problem.

2012 Membership Info
In an article in the Hearld Sun today Brendan Gale "is confident the Tigers' bold five-year strategic plan is on track"
Richmond will kick off the 2012 membership campaign today, the 2012 slogan will be Roar Pride. Roar Passion. Roar Power.
"We hit our all-time membership record this year of just under 48,000," Gale said yesterday.
The Tiger have also cleared $1.5mil of debt and we finished in 12th place last season, so it all looks like we are headed in the right direction, I guess time will tell.
I do know one thing that is that the best thing to happen to Richmond in the last few years is Brendan Gale, by the time he is finished at Tiger Land his time as an administrator will be far greater than his time as a player.
It is fantastic to see a smart man like him at the helm.
