Have to disagree here.

Lalor doesn't deserve number 4. Hasn't played a game. Greatest player ever that led the most successful era in history.

That number should be retired for awhile.
lalor doesnt deserve 4 but miller and alger deserve 12 and 29

lunacy!

They gave them the highest numbers they could. Every number from 12 through to 50 is now taken.
But they could of still given other players promotions or simply not given Blight and Grey new numbers to free up higher numbers freeing up more of those super high numbers for the draftees

They also still gave away 29 that is a relatively big number in Richmond’s history

None of the decisions seem consistent in my eyes just half measures in multiple directions
 
Can't believe we've given numbers of players that played decades ago out to current players. Unbelievable.

Imo Campbell is probably the only other player deserving of an upgrade, and even with him it's questionable because he hasn't played many games yet.

They couldn't really leave Gray and Blight in numbers over 50 as they're used for our VFL players. They only got such high numbers in this year because we didn't have another option.

Giving #29 to a draftee is consistent with what we've done before, with Bolton also getting it when drafted.

wtf does retiring a number for a year do? Bullshit American sports nonsense.
I think the club's logic is probably trying to avoid the media endlessly comparing Lalor to Martin, rather than letting the kid just spend his first season developing his game.
