RICHMOND draftee Troy Taylor has been charged with one count of assault and will appear in Alice Springs Magistrates Court on February 18.
Taylor, taken with pick 51 in last year's national draft, was charged over an incident in Alice Springs on New Year's Eve in which three men were allegedly assaulted
"We knew Troy had a number of issues he was dealing with when we drafted him," Richmond chief executive Brendon Gale said.
"The Richmond Football Club has a professional network of support helping Troy address his issues but we have also advised Troy that he needs to take personal responsibility for the decisions he makes," Gale said.
Due to legal reasons the Tigers will make no further comment on the matter until after the 18-year-old appears in court.
