What Does Richmond’s Nucleus Mean for Sonsie, Rioli and Ralphsmith?
Updated: Aug 26
The full RTSSG feature asks what happens to the rest of Richmond's list once the club begins naming the group it wants to build around.
Tyler Sonsie, Maurice Rioli and Hugo Ralphsmith are three very different footballers. But is the important question simply whether each is good enough to play AFL?
What does Richmond still need that is difficult to replace? Which parts of the list are becoming crowded? Does versatility protect a player if several teammates can perform the same jobs? Does one rare trait become more valuable as the rest of the team takes shape?
And when a rebuilding club moves from collecting possibilities to choosing between them, how should it decide which uncertainty is still worth investing in?
The member feature follows those questions without assuming the answer from the players' names alone.
