Numurkah, Cobram, Chiltern, Wahgunyah and Albury-Wodonga are among the other towns the Club’s AFL stars will have a touch point with as part of the community visits.

Richmond will also hold a pre-season training session at Yarrawonga’s JC Lowe Oval on Wednesday, November 26 that will be open to fans.

The 3pm training session will be followed by a player signing and photo opportunity from approximately 4.45pm.

AFL North East Border and the broader Murray Bushrangers region make up the club’s Next Generation Academy zone, so as part of this, the club has also visited Wangaratta, Mildura, and Albury-Wodonga in recent years for the AFL Community Camp, expanding its footprint in those towns.

Richmond CEO Shane Dunne said the trip would help the club start the year with strong momentum.

“We know there are Richmond fans everywhere and particularly in the Yarrawonga and broader North East region,” Mr Dunne said.

“Connecting with these fans at schools and around the community across the week, as well as their presence at our open training, will create a great buzz.

“It will be good for the players to get away together, train hard, and give back to the community during our time in the region. We are all looking forward to it.”
