The VFL Tigers have finalised their list for the 2019 Hard Yakka/Totally Workwear VFL season.

Street arrives at Punt Road from Frankston YCW. The exciting young prospect can play key roles both forward and back, and thrives in the contest.

Oakes, a big-bodied midfielder, joins the Tigers from the Canberra Demons. The Murray Bushrangers graduate has made an impact with his booming left-foot kick.

Recruited from Noble Park, Nelson stamped his presence when he booted four goals in a practice match against Essendon in March. The developing small forward, 22, will look to compliment the Tigers’ forward line mix in 2019.

Sorrento product Harris joins the side as a half-back flanker. The 21-year-old is renowned for his toughness and hard running.

Haysman, who hails from South Australia, joins the Tigers from the University Blacks. The versatile outside midfielder can play at either end. 

Trio Hayden Bruce, Nick Baltas and Lewis Diggins, who were on the 2018 Development List, have been elevated to the main list.
