First of all, I'd like to point out this is merely a niche stat, not something I think we should aim to do, just something to track over the year
In 2018 I remember we had a thread going about whether or not we could get our full 2017 premiership team back together. Like every other premiership team ever, it didn't happen.
Obviously, neither our 2017 or 2019 premiership team can be recreated due to departures, but we now have 25 listed premiership players, which gives us some wriggle room to name 22 of them in a single game. If I'm not mistaken this would take the very specific record of "Most Richmond premiership players to take to the field in a single game" given all of our first 10 flags were in an era with smaller/non existent benches.
Our listed players without a premiership medal are: Higgins, RCD, Ross, Turner, Markov, English, Moore, Menadue, Balta, CCJ, Garthwaite, Naish, Miller, Aarts, Chol, DES, Stack and draftees. These are the guys that will stop this from happening.
Bolded are players that I would speculate are most likely to take spots over premiership players, while in italics are other players who played in 2019.
Will we get a game with 22 premiership players out there?
Does anyone know of any times this has happened in the past?
* Note I'm excluding future premiership players, otherwise almost every game would have 22 I reckon
