Could Luke Trainor Actually Solve a Richmond Wing Question?

RTSSG’s full member feature, The Evolving Wing Role & Luke Trainor’s Potential, opens the evidence behind this question.

The modern AFL wing demands far more than running capacity. It asks for defensive positioning, transition work, repeat effort and clean connection between the back and front halves.

Luke Trainor had already shown Richmond his reading of play and defensive instincts, giving the club legitimate reasons to consider whether those traits could translate elsewhere.

The next question

Would moving Trainor higher up the ground unlock more of his game or take him away from what he does best?

Which of his existing traits genuinely transfer to a full-time wing role?

What evidence would Richmond need before deciding this is development rather than experimentation?

Those questions are where the Public version stops. The full RTSSG member feature follows the evidence through to the judgement: The Evolving Wing Role & Luke Trainor’s Potential.
