The VFL Tigers have finalised their coaching panel and the playing squad is starting to take shape ahead of season 2017.
Craig McRae returns as Richmond’s VFL and development coach, while Ryan Ferguson will again be responsible for the backline.

McQualter was appointed as an assistant coach to Damien Hardwick and will be responsible for midfield stoppage and structure at AFL level.
Tom Hunter has taken over as forwards coach after having a midfield role in 2016, with Ben Waite assuming the position as VFL midfield stoppage coach.
Waite played for the VFL Tigers in 2014, then spent the past two seasons as a senior coach in the North East Australian Football League (NEAFL).

While the coaching panel has been confirmed, the VFL squad is starting to take shape as the pre-season campaign heats up.
