AFL legend Leigh Matthews believes Richmond’s success, on and off the field, over the past couple of years, has resulted in a significant spin-off for the Club.

“The ultimate compliment to Richmond is they would be topping the list of destination clubs for recruiting now,” Matthews said on 3AW.

“They’ve got almost 100,000 members, all of a sudden they’re a really powerful club again, and they’ve got a fantastic football team.

“So that’s always the ultimate compliment.

“Hawthorn were that in the last bit of time, but I think all of a sudden Richmond now are the destination club.”
