Blair Hartley arrived at Richmond at the end of 2009 and helped build the lists that delivered the Tigers premiership success in 2017, 2019 and 2020.

After starting as list analyst, Hartley became list manager and is now the Executive General Manager, Football Talent. Hartley started his AFL career at Essendon before spending five years at Port Adelaide, before he was poached by the Tigers when working as the Power's national recruiting manager.

He has played an important role in regenerating Richmond's list with an influx with young talent over the past couple of years.
