Reserves
The 2017 season marked the fourth 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 qualified for their first final series since being formed in 2014 and subsequently won final's against Collingwood, Casey and Box Hill to qualify for their first stand alone reserves grade grand final since 1997. They placed runners up after losing 11.8 (74) to 10.10 (70) to Port Melbourne .
Senior listed player Jacob Townsend won the J. J. Liston Trophy as the competition's best and fairest player.[ 19]
