The 2019 season marked the sixth consecutive year 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 was captained by former AFL-listed defender Steve Morris. The team finished the home and away season with 16 wins and two losses, winning a second straight minor premiership. Finals wins over Essendon and Port Melbourne earned them a spot in the grand final, where they defeated Williamstown to win the club's first VFA/VFL premiership in 114 years and the club's first reserves grade premiership since 1997. AFL-listed midfielder Marlion Pickett won the Norm Goss Memorial Medal as the best on ground that day. [25]
