Well there is not much to update!The Tigers still hope to get Ivan Maric from the Crows and are still looking to move on Luke McGuane and Daniel Connors but they are not drawing much interest at this stage.
But that being said Steven Morris and pick 15 from Greater Western Sydney has been traded to Richmond for pick 14.
From the Herald Sun
NEW Richmond hard nut Steven Morris says he has set his sights on a Round 1 debut.
Morris was secured by the Tigers after they swapped their pick 14 with the No.15 selection of Greater Western Sydney.
The son of 1973-74 premiership player Kevin was overlooked four years ago as a father-son selection.
After a breakout year with SANFL club West Adelaide, the 22-year-old is likely to be used as a small defender. Parents Kevin and Jan were in Hawaii on holiday yesterday, but Morris said his father was thrilled.
"They were pretty thrilled with the news I would be coming home and playing at the club he played for. It's pretty special for him and me. (Round 1) is definitely the aim," he said.
Morris was overlooked when he got to draft age.
"I played TAC Cup right through and I did have some injuries when I was younger with stress fractures.
"I moved over to South Australia to give it a crack and to prove I could make the grade. Four years later it seems to have paid off."
He said he still needed to improve his foot skills but was relishing the chance for a huge pre-season to chip off his rough edges.
Richmond head of football Craig Cameron said the Tigers had already earmarked a role for Morris.
The Tigers made little progress on the deal to lure Adelaide ruckman Ivan Maric but remain confident they will get their man.
Defender Luke McGuane seems unlikely to get to Brisbane despite reports, while rebounding defender Dan Connors drew little interest from rivals.
