RICHMOND ruckman Ivan Maric and injury-prone defender Dylan Grimes will help lead the Tigers under new skipper Trent Cotchin next season.

Chris Newman, who stepped aside as captain at the end of last season, has stood down from the leadership group.

Players and coaches voted on the new leadership structure during their training camp in Cairns this week.

The expanded leadership group also includes Cotchin, vice-captain Brett Deledio, forward Jack Riewoldt and midfielder Daniel Jackson.

Maric finished third in the Jack Dyer Medal after joining the Tigers from Adelaide.

Grimes has played just 17 senior games and faces an uncertain future after more surgery on his hamstring this week.

"Both players fully deserve their inclusion in the leadership group, for the respect they have within the club and the way they conduct themselves, both on and off the field," football manager Craig Cameron said.

"Dylan is an outstanding young leader and a fine example to the developing players on our list, and Ivan has made an enormous impact at the club in only 12 months."

Cameron said Newman would continue to be a leader regardless of any official position. He is the only member of the 2012 leadership group not to retain his position.

After four days of hard training in the Cairns heat, the Tigers have broken into groups and dropped in various locations across north Queensland to compete in an Amazing Race-style challenge.
