The AFL has announced Richmond will receive an end of round two selection in the 2021 AFL draft as compensation for free agent Mabior Chol.
Chol’s move to Gold Coast was confirmed on Friday afternoon, the former tall Tiger looking for more senior opportunities.
As it stands, Richmond will receive pick 38 for Chol.
The Tigers now have six picks between numbers 15 and 44.
Former Crow Jake Kelly was the other move confirmed on Friday, the intercepting backman joining the Bombers.
Adelaide will receive a third-round pick, currently number 42, for his departure.
Kelly is 26-years-old and has played 110 games with the Crows, while Chol is 24-years-old and has played just 31 times.

AFL Media’s Damian Barrett was unimpressed with the process used by the AFL to choose the compensation.
“You know my views, they make it up every single time,” Barret told AFL Media’s The Late Trade.
“I don’t think there’s a great problem with how they’ve ranked those two players.
“But they just make it up … There’s no formula.
“It can be wherever they want.”
Carlton also lodged paperwork for restricted free agent George Hewett late on Friday, the Swans now with three days to decide whether they will match the offer.
