Reserves

For the second consecutive season, the Richmond Football club ran a stand-alone reserves team in the Victorian Football League (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 five wins and thirteen losses. [16] 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, [17] while another senior listed player Liam McBean was awarded the Jim 'Frosty' Miller Medal for the league's leading goalkicker.
