Here’s a quick update on Patrick Carr and Richmond AFL.
Patrick Carr, a 217 cm former basketball player from Melbourne, has been signed by Richmond as a Category B Rookie. This makes him the tallest player in AFL history on an AFL list. The signing was reported around May 27, 2026, with the club positioning him as a long-term ruck option and a project to reintroduce him to football after focusing on basketball in the US.

The move generated significant attention due to Carr’s height and background, with multiple outlets noting Richmond beat other clubs to secure him and that the club intends a slow, developmental pathway before potential game time.
