What Did Richmond Still Need to Discover About Josh Smillie?
Updated: Aug 30
The full RTSSG member feature, Smillie’s Comeback Could Be the Spark Richmond’s Rebuild Needs! 🐯, starts with a Richmond question that is easier to ask than to settle.
Smillie was Richmond’s pick No.7 in the 2024 national draft.
Quad and hamstring issues restricted his 2025 season to four VFL games and no AFL debut.
Was simply getting him onto the field enough?
Which role would give Richmond the cleanest evidence about the midfielder it drafted?
How much patience should remain once availability stops being the main problem?
Those questions are where the Public version stops. The member feature follows the evidence far enough to decide what it means for Richmond.
