A Channel Seven report suggested Moore would be Richmond's main target to fill that void. Moore's management has denied there have been any talks with the Tigers.

McGuire said he was unaware of the link, but cheekily responded with reminders of the bitter trade war between the fierce rivals during the 1980s.
