The Tigers have been a breeding ground in recent years with a number of players having made the jump from the Victorian Football League to the AFL. This week, Jack Riding has joined Hawthorn for the second part of its pre-season and will train for one of the Hawks two Supplemental Selection Period (SSP) rookie spots. Riding averaged 24 disposals, five tackles and five clearances per game last season for Werribee and finished top five in the club’s best and fairest. Dom Brew also trained with the Western Bulldogs last season for a SSP spot. Zane Keighran will join the Tigers.
