Richmond has finalised its player guernsey numbers for 2014 following yesterday’s AFL Rookie Draft.
The Tigers’ first pick in the National Draft, talented teenager, Ben Lennon, will wear No. 35, with the Club’s second selection, Nathan Gordon, taking No. 39 and third choice, Sam Lloyd, No. 42.
This is in line with the Club’s policy of making newcomers earn their stripes before being considered for any of the numbers steeped in Tigerland tradition.
Former Carlton ruckman, Shaun Hampson, who was traded to Richmond in early October, has been given the No. 16 jumper.
Ex-Brisbane Lion small forward, Todd Banfield, taken by the Tigers with their first pick in the Rookie Draft, will don the No. 22, while former GWS midfielder, Anthony Miles (the Club’s second rookie selection), has been handed No. 26, and ex-Port Power midfielder, Matt Thomas (third rookie pick), will wear No. 19.
