Richmond has confirmed 14 new guernsey numbers ahead of the 2025 season.
As announced yesterday, Maurice Rioli Jr will wear his father’s famous No. 17 Richmond guernsey next year.
Meanwhile, Richmond’s first pick in the 2024 Telstra AFL Draft, Sam Lalor, will wear No. 22 in his debut AFL season.
Lalor is the second consecutive Richmond No. 1 draft pick to debut in the number 22, after AFLW star Ellie McKenzie also donned it for the Tigers in 2021.
