It’s not yet known who will captain Richmond in 2022.
With long-serving skipper Trent Cotchin stepping down from the role last September, the Tigers are looking for a new captain to lead the club moving forward.
Dustin Martin, Jack Riewoldt, Tom Lynch, Jack Graham and Nick Vlastuin are among the candidates who have been touted to potentially assume the coveted position.
Kane Cornes believes Tigers superstar Martin is ready to take on the captaincy after winning a swag of individual awards plus three premierships across a decorated 12-year career.
Former Adelaide forward Josh Jenkins says triple-premiership defender Dylan Grimes would be his choice to captain Richmond this season.

“Grimes would be my selection,” Jenkins told SEN Breakfast.
“But again, context. We’re not inside the club, so it’s very hard to make a call. But Grimes would be my call.
“There’s probably two or three in that group who we simply don’t know about, who are vocal and do the right things inside the four walls and we don’t hear from them on the outside.”
Grimes is one of the competition’s best and most reliable defenders, earning All-Australian selection in 2019 and taking out Richmond’s best and fairest in 2021.
The 30-year-old has played 192 games since debuting for the Tigers in 2010.
