Adem Yze

Richmond coach Adem Yze says the Club is "serious about getting better" in regards to acquiring new talent to the Tigers.

"Our Club is serious about getting better," Yze said on Thursday.

"Whether that means you're bringing in free agents or established players, or going into the draft again with a really strong draft hand.

"So those decisions will be made later in the year, but to be in those discussions, obviously, Blair (Executive General Manager, Football Talent, Blair Hartley) needs to be thinking about those things.

'[We need to] get some reward for effort in our front half' - Yze

Adem Yze spoke to the media ahead of the Tigers' Gather Round clash against GWS.

"That's our job as a footy club to get better. We want to bounce back and get back to finals as quickly as we can. Whether, and I've said this before, we start looking at those established players this year or next, that will start to come in or start to link in with our planning."

Yze's comments follows a period of building a stable of young talent, including nine top-30 draft picks over the past two off-seasons, which has transitioned Richmond into one of the youngest lists in the competition.

The Tigers face the GWS Giants on Sunday in Gather Round.
