RTSSG’s full member feature, 🟡⚫️ The Tiger Tragician: Trainor Thriving in Yellow and Black ⚫️🟡, opens the evidence behind this question.

Luke Trainor played 21 AFL games in his debut season, was used across several roles and identified defence as his preferred home.

What had that much first-year exposure genuinely established, and what still needed a second season to answer?

Is that actually the right way to read it? What changes when the evidence is placed beside Richmond’s wider list, role and rebuild context?

What contradicts the obvious explanation? Who or what does this put under pressure, and what would Richmond have needed to prove next?

Those questions are where the Public version stops. The full RTSSG member feature follows the evidence through to the judgement: 🟡⚫️ The Tiger Tragician: Trainor Thriving in Yellow and Black ⚫️🟡.
