As posted in the Maurice Rioli jnr thread, he's moved to his father's #17.

Dusty’s number 4 guernsey at @Richmond_FC is set to remain vacant in 2025. The club has essentially decided to retire it for a year.

2025 Richmond guernsey numbers

Richmond’s first pick in the 2024 Telstra AFL Draft, Sam Lalor, will wear No. 22 in his debut AFL season.

Lalor is the second consecutive Richmond No. 1 draft pick to debut in the number 22, after AFLW star Ellie McKenzie also donned it for the Tigers in 2021.

The No. 22 was most recently worn by dual premiership Tiger Josh Caddy, and Jacob Hopper.

The Tigers’ second selection, Josh Smillie, has been given the No. 16 guernsey.

The numbers for the remainder of the Club’s 2024 Telstra AFL Draft picks are:

No. 24 – Taj Hotton

No. 26 – Jonty Faull

No. 29 – Jasper Alger

No. 31 – Luke Trainor

No. 34 – Harry Armstrong

No. 38 – Tom Sims

The Club has opted to keep the numbers recently worn by triple premiership and 300-game icons Dustin Martin (4), Jack Riewoldt (8 ), Trent Cotchin (9) and Shane Edwards (10) vacant for the 2025 season.

Number 11, most recently worn by triple premiership forward Jason Castagna has also remained vacant for next year, as has number 6.

In other guernsey number changes at the Club . . .

Jacob Hopper moves from No. 22 to No. 2, which is what he wore during his 114-game career with Greater Western Sydney.

Rhyan Mansell, second on the Tigers’ 2024 goalkicking list, and seventh in this year’s Jack Dyer Medal, takes the No. 7 after 53 games in No. 31.

Ben Miller goes from No. 46 to No. 12. The jumper has been kept vacant since Miller's former teammate and fellow key defender David Astbury wore it in three premierships.

Jacob Blight from No. 51 to No. 46.

Campbell Gray from No. 52 to No. 50.

Richmond’s full list of guernsey numbers for season 2025 is:

No. 1 – Nick Vlastuin

No. 3 – Dion Prestia

No. 4 – vacant

No. 5 – Jack Ross

Extraordinary decisions IMO to give Miller 12 and Mansell 7.

These are two guys who should probably be losing their spots in 2025 or becoming depth-only.

To give them prestigious numbers is ludicrous IMO.

Am I missing something with the number 7? What significance does it hold for the club to turn down players requesting to wear it?

Agree.  Only 2 players have worn the number 7 in more than 100 games.  Ash Prescott is number 5 on the list FFS.  Most notable recent players are Bakes, Brown and Michael Mitchell.  But hardly an institutional RFC number.

I just think 7 is a coveted and low number and Mansell is a guy who should be in a much higher one. That's all really.

Thoughts on Miller in 12?

Ah the famous #7 at Richmond.  Wayne Walsh was first to wear it in my time, then it took a rest for a while until Mick Malthouse came on board.

Its the number we give to gritty little mongrels, so Mansell fits in pretty well ...     ;D

You can’t really tell a senior player they can’t have a vacant number for no other reason then it’s a low number. How’s that convo gonna go? “Sorry mate, you’re too shiite to wear that number, pick another….”

I can atleast see the argument with significant numbers like 12, but I do think it’s somewhat overplayed. At the end of the day there’s gonna be champions and there’s gonna be duds that wear all numbers from 1-50, it won’t change anything accomplished in that guernsey in the past.

When Astbury first took on the #12 after his debut season, I completely hated it. Don’t want to compare but I don’t think any of us thought Dave would become the player he did at that point either.

A reminder #7 was given to Matt Dea & Ben Lennon for their 3rd year before being given to Dan Butler and then Bakes.

I don't like Mansell and Miller wearing 7 and 12 but we can't have a squad with a heap of low numbers vacant.

I expect these two to be on their last contract and delisted with Armstrong or Faull taking 12 in 2-3 years. Trainor to take 7 too.

For better or worse Mansell stays on the list at least until Tassie comes in now - same goes for Banks & Campbell... :shh

Clearly   the significance of number 29 is now lost  :-\

And I have a rea issue with Miller getting number 12
