Collingwood forward Joe Richards has informed the Club of his decision to request a trade to Port Adelaide…
The 24-year-old was drafted to Collingwood at pick 48 in the 2022 AFL National Draft and has played nine games at AFL level.
The Club will discuss the request with Port Adelaide.
The Continental Tyres AFL Trade Period opens at 11am today.
As reported Inside Trading last week, Richards has been offered a three-year deal to move to the South Australian club, while he was also considering a similar offer to remain at the Pies for 2025 and beyond.
The 24-year-old enjoyed a breakthrough year at Collingwood this season, playing nine games of senior football in the back half of the campaign but dealing with a foot injury and illness.
The Power have also won a commitment from contracted forward Jack Lukosius and will look to pair the skilled Sun with Richards in their attack next year.
