The 2018 season marked the fifth consecutive year the Richmond Football club ran a stand-alone reserves team in the Victorian Football League (VFL). 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 was captained by former AFL listed defender Steve Morris. Hugh Beasley, Jake Aarts, Jacob Ballard and Tom Silvestro are also in the team's 2018 leadership group.[13]
The team finished the home and away season with 14 wins and four losses, earning the minor premiership as a result.[14] They were eliminated from the finals series after successive qualifying and semi finals matches against Williamstown and Essendon respectively.[15]
AFL-listed midfielder Anthony Miles won the club's best and fairest award for the second year running, along with the league's best and fairest award, the J. J. Liston Trophy.[16] AFL-listed small forward Tyson Stengle led the team's goal-kicking with 33 across his 19 matches.[17] Another AFL-listed small forward, Shai Bolton, received both the league's Mark and Goal of the Year awards.[18]
