Richmond Awards No.4 to Lalor and No.8 to Faull in Youth-Focused Reset

The symbolic handover links emerging talent to club greats during a rebuilding phase.

Overview

  • Richmond confirmed new jumper allocations on Tuesday, with Sam Lalor taking No.4 and Jonty Faull moving from 26 to No.8.
  • Tigers greats Dick Clay, Michael "Disco" Roach and Jack Riewoldt attended a Punt Rd ceremony to anoint Faull as the next No.8.
  • Lalor, the No.1 pick in the 2024 draft, moves from 22 after a hamstring-interrupted debut season.
  • Faull logged 16 senior games in 2025 and is among a cluster of recent high draft selections driving the club’s rebuild.
  • The No.4 and No.8 had been vacant since Dustin Martin’s 2024 retirement and Jack Riewoldt’s 2023 exit, as the club also redevelops the Jack Dyer Stand precinct.
