An Unprecedented Time for Richmond FC: Are You Ready for the Revolution
Let me speak to you from the heart: Richmond Football Club is at a crossroads unlike any we've seen before. You've stood by RTSSG.COM and the Tigers through every challenge, and now, more than ever, your loyalty is about to be rewarded in ways you can't even begin to imagine.
This isn't just another preseason, another draft, or another round of changes—this is the dawn of a new era for the Tigers. And trust me, you do not want to miss what's coming. RTSSG.COM will make sure you stay informed every step of the way.
The New Era Begins
Since 1985, we’ve never fielded a side that has struggled as much as this year’s Richmond team. Statistically, we’ve hit rock bottom, and that’s a fact. But here’s the kicker: that rock bottom is exactly where the foundation for our next great leap is being laid. The energy, the excitement, the green shoots of new beginnings are all around us. There’s a palpable buzz that things are about to change in a big way.
The players who are about to join our ranks—those names you might not even recognize yet—are on the verge of becoming champions and legends. And the only place you’ll get the full story on every twist and turn, every draft pick, and every behind-the-scenes move is right here on RTSSG.COM.
The Building Blocks of Richmond’s Future: A New Era of Success
As the Richmond Football Club embarks on a pivotal rebuilding phase, several key pillars will serve as the foundation for the club's future success. These pillars—Draft Strategy, Youth Development, Leadership, and Fan Support—are crucial to transitioning Richmond from a team in rebuild mode to a formidable AFL contender once again.
Understanding and embracing these elements will be essential for both the club's leadership and its loyal supporters as they navigate the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
Draft Strategy: Laying the Foundation
The cornerstone of Richmond’s resurgence lies in its draft strategy. The club’s ability to bring in talent that meets current needs while possessing the potential for long-term development will be critical. By focusing on strong-bodied midfielders, versatile players, and those with a high football IQ, Richmond can build a well-rounded, competitive squad capable of sustained success. The draft is where future stars are born, and smart, forward-thinking selections will be pivotal in shaping the club's destiny.
Youth Development: Cultivating the Future
Equally important is the development of young talent already within the club. Robust youth development programs tailored to nurture the skills, mental resilience, and leadership qualities of emerging players will ensure that Richmond has a pipeline of talent ready to step up as senior players retire or move on. Investing in these young Tigers not only bolsters the team’s performance on the field but also instils a culture of excellence and commitment that aligns with the club's proud history.
Leadership and Experience: Guiding the Next Generation
While youth is crucial, the role of experienced players and strong leadership cannot be overstated. Senior players provide guidance, set standards, and lead by example both on and off the field. Their experience will be invaluable in helping younger players navigate the pressures of AFL football and in maintaining team morale during challenging periods. Effective leadership will be key in fostering a unified and resilient team culture, essential for success in both the short and long term.
Fan Support and Patience: The Backbone of Rebuilding
The unwavering support of Richmond’s fans will be a cornerstone of the club’s rebuilding efforts. The Yellow & Black Army’s loyalty has been a defining feature of the club’s history, and their continued patience and belief in the team will be more important than ever during this transitional phase. As the club works to rebuild and lay the foundations for future success, fans must trust the process and stay united in their support, knowing that their passion and dedication are integral to Richmond’s journey back to the top.
Gearing Up for a Game-Changing Offseason
Imagine this: the upcoming trade and draft period is going to be a game-changer, not just for the Tigers but for the entire AFL landscape. Richmond is gearing up to make some of the boldest moves we’ve ever seen, and you, as a devoted supporter, will have front-row access to every detail.
But that’s not all. We’re also about to kick off a new women’s season, with expectations at an all-time high! The excitement is off the charts, and you’ll want to be in the know every step of the way. Let RTSSG.COM be your guide through the maze!

The Issues with Facebook and Other Platforms
Let’s talk about Facebook and other social media platforms for a moment.

The Changing Landscape at Richmond: What’s Next?
As of today, we’ve seen some significant developments at the club—retirements, appointments, and the potential departures of key players like Liam Baker, Daniel Rioli, Jack Graham, and Shai Bolton. Big changes are on the horizon, and with those changes come new opportunities. These departures, while bittersweet, open up spots on our list that will be filled with fresh, young talent—players who are ready to make their mark and grow into the next generation of Richmond stars.
The 2024 draft is shaping up to be one of the most complex and pivotal in recent years, and you can bet that Richmond will be the club to watch as we play a major role in it.
The Draft: A New Era Begins
We’re heading into this year’s draft with a level of activity that we haven’t seen in years. Richmond will be the number one club to watch, whether it’s through bundling picks, securing green shoots, or adding new faces to an already impressive list of young talent. Imagine the excitement as we see players like Jagga Smith, who could be our next number one or two pick, don the Yellow and Black. These young stars are the future of our club, and RTSSG.COM will be your ultimate guide through this thrilling new chapter.
