Reserves
For the second consecutive season the Richmond Football club ran a stand-alone reserves team in the VFL. Richmond senior and rookie-listed players who were not selected to play in the AFL side were eligible to play for the team alongside a small squad of VFL-only listed players. The team finished 13th out of 15 participating clubs, with a record of 5 win and 13 losses.[15] Each of the club's nine home matches were played at the Punt Road Oval. Senior listed player Matt Dea won the Guanane Medal as the VFL side's best and fairest,[16] while another senior listed player Liam McBean was awarded the Jim 'Frosty' Miller Medal for the league's leading goalkicker.[17]
