Twenty-one games. Tom Lynch didn't trouble the scorer against Adelaide but still had four more shots at goal — his season deficit has blown out from −37.3 to −48.3 from 48 shots at 33.3% accuracy, comfortably the largest shortfall on the board and the single biggest reason Richmond's scoreboard keeps trailing its shot map. His TR/gm of +9.03 has slipped behind Jonty Faull's +13.11 (10 games) as the most threatening kicker inside the squad. Seth Campbell was best afield with 3 goals against Adelaide, pushing his season line to 43 shots at −5.2 (39.5%) — the best week-on-week movement on the board. Mykelti Lefau (2 goals in the loss) is now the squad's most efficient forward: +18.5 from 30 shots at 66.7% — the best mark on the board, just ahead of Sam Lalor's +17.1 (61.9%, 11 games) and Sam Cumming's +15.7 (72.7%, 14 games). Steely Green sits on 29 shots at −19.6 (48.3%), still stuck. Tim Taranto had a quiet game in front of goal but kept building his season-high score-launch tally (31, 6.7% of his disposals) — still the outright team leader. Toby Nankervis's launch rate of 18.0% remains the highest in the side by a distance.

Twenty-one games. Ben Miller is now at 60 defensive contests at 80.0% — still as dominant a one-on-one record as anyone in the competition. Nick Vlastuin had one of his best games of the season against Adelaide (named among the best afield) and his intercept tally has jumped to 127, still the squad's highest, with his contest win rate up to 62.5% — moving in the right direction. His rebound 50 tally has climbed to 91, edging past Jayden Short (90) for the team lead for the first time all season. Nathan Broad has built to 107 intercepts and 45 intercept marks at an 86.4% contest win rate across 20 games — still the most underrated number on this dashboard. Short's own contest win rate lifted to 50.0% this week, though the sample is still just 8 contests. Kye Annand's sample has grown to nine games and his defensive contest count has climbed to 28 (78.6%) — a much bigger workload in that role than his early-season snapshot suggested.
