Richmond board challengers Peter Casey and Simon Wallace have lost in their respective attempts to become Tigers directors, with incumbents Kerry Ryan and Emmett Dunne both re-elected for new three year terms.
Casey and Wallace were the only challengers after the controversial "Focus on Football" group decided not to continue their heavily publicised push for a spill. But their pushes ended on Friday evening as the Tigers released the results of their election.

However there will still be a change on the board next year following the recent resignation of Tony Free.
Richmond president Peggy O'Neal congratulated the re-elected pair.
"We thank those members who voted and those who stood for election," O'Neal said on the club's website.
"The club encouraged all members to exercise their voting rights in the election, and we congratulate both Kerry and Emmett on being re-elected.
"We look forward to Emmett and Kerry continuing to make an important contribution to the board."
Wallace was gracious in defeat.
"I heartily congratulate Kerry and Emmett on their endorsement by members, and I expect they'd both be feeling very, and rightly, proud of the support they've received from those who chose to vote," he said on his campaign website.
He remained disappointed though.
"It'd have been a great honour for me had I been elected, and served, as a director of the club we adore: I think I'd have been a really good one. I put a lot of time into preparing my submission to members, and much longer thinking deeply about it."
