12 March 2022Best chance: Josh Gibcus
Gibcus looks primed for a round one debut against Carlton after quickly settling into Richmond's defence. As a young, tall defender he is unlikely to catch the eye of Rising Star judges with a mountain of disposals, but he will fly for his marks and take on opponents in the air which is exciting to watch. Richmond's prized No.9 pick at last year's NAB AFL Draft backs himself with the ball and looks likely to get some opportunities in his first season at Punt Road.
Other contenders: Thomson Dow (seven games), Hugo Ralphsmith (five games), Maurice Rioli (two games), Tyler Sonsie (yet to debut)
