Two premiership-winning players are among a group of Richmond identities calling for a spill of the AFL club’s board.

The group has released a statement to several media outlets ahead of an 11am press conference on Monday when the names behind the move are expected to be revealed.

“A new group of prominent Richmond Football Club identities, including two premiership players, is calling for a spill of the RFC board, declaring it’s high time the focus of the club returns to its core business – winning football and contesting premierships,” the statement, published on AFL.com.au, said.
