The full RTSSG member feature, Do you think Luke Trainor could become one of the most unique weapons in the AFL ?, is the source for this Public question.


Luke Trainor arrived with an unusual physical mix: around 194–195cm, the size to influence aerial contests and the movement and ball use to operate away from a traditional key-defensive role.


That creates a development question rather than an automatic position. What is the most valuable version of him for Richmond?


Does he become more dangerous as an attacking defender, a wing option, a high half-back, or a player who moves between roles according to the opponent? What does Richmond gain from specialising him — and what might it lose?


Which role gives Trainor the clearest path to mastering AFL-level habits while still preserving the traits that make him different?


The full feature examines the possibilities, but the Public question remains open: what exactly should Richmond be trying to build?
