Richmond and Geelong stood out during the trade period for their lack of big name acquisitions but both clubs defended their lack of action adamant they have strong enough lists to return to finals after missing the action this September.
Premiers in four of the past seven seasons, the Tigers and Cats both fell away this year as injuries hit crucial senior players, but neither flagged any intent to bring top end talent in via trade as they hope a cleaner bill of health can generate success in 2024.
Richmond hopes Jacob Koschitzke can be an effective forward partner to a fit-again Tom Lynch after he joined from Hawthorn in exchange for pick 49.
