Bio
Tanner Armstrong is a tough ball-winner who has built an impressive resume on the talent pathway. Hailing from Shepparton where he played for Rumbalara and Shepparton United, he stepped up for the Murray Bushrangers and represented Vic Country at the National Championships. Tied to Richmond through its Next Generation Academy due to his Indigenous heritage, his family shares a strong link to the Tigers, with his older siblings also involved in the club's academy programs. Armstrong's draft year featured a VFL debut for Richmond where he looked comfortable off half-back against St Kilda, and he also impressed for the AFL National Academy against VFL opposition.
Armstrong is a hard-bodied outside midfielder who has showcased his versatility as a rebounding defender. Scouts praise his clean hands, ground-ball ability and relentless appetite for the contest, though some note he needs to refine his kicking under pressure. He recently displayed his athletic traits by testing strongly in the agility and sprint events at the state draft combine. He is widely viewed as a late national draft or rookie option for Richmond, who are expected to match any rival bid for his services.
