Reserves

The 2016 season marked the third consecutive year the Richmond Football club ran a stand-alone reserves team in the Victorian Football League.
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 finished ninth out of 15 participating clubs, with a record of nine win and nine losses. Each of the club's nine home matches were played at the Punt Road Oval.
