Richmond selected dynamic forward/midfielder Taj Hotton with its third selection, No. 12 overall at the 2024 Telstra AFL Draft.
Hotton made a blistering start to the Coates Talent League in 2024, playing for Sandringham Dragons where he averaged 29 disposals, including a 32 touch and four goal game against Oakleigh Chargers.
The outstanding form saw Hotton selected for the AFL Academy side, however an ACL injury in May meant he was unable to play for Vic Metro in the National Championships.
Hotton was a standout at fitness testing in March with his 2.88 second 20m sprint, 21.1 yoyo, 7.8 agility test and 93cm running vertical leap placing him in the elite category.
Draft history: 2024 Telstra AFL Draft 1st round selection (Richmond) No. 12.
