What Happened to the Richmond Players Who Stayed Home During the War?
Updated: Aug 30
The full RTSSG member feature, The Boys Who Stayed: The Question Nobody Asked, opens a question worth separating from the easy answer.
Not every Richmond player or club figure went overseas, and the reasons could not be reduced to one simple category.
Who kept playing? Who was medically unable to serve, too young, too old or tied to essential work? How were those decisions viewed at the time?
What does the story look like when the people who remained are examined without applying a century of hindsight?
What happens when the rest of the evidence is added? Which obvious reading becomes harder to sustain, and what should a Richmond supporter ask next before settling on an answer?
The evidence does not stop there. Read the full RTSSG member investigation here.
