Krakouer played 137 games across the two teams between 2001 and 2013, winning Mark of the Year in 2011 for the Magpies.
The son of former Kangaroos and Saints player Jim Krakouer, the West Australian goalsneak died of a suspected heart attack in Perth on Sunday.
Krakouer debuted for Richmond in 2001 after being drafted with pick 41 in the 2000 national draft.
He was delisted at the end of 2007, returning to Perth to play for Swan Districts in the WAFL.
In June 2008, Krakouer was found guilty of assault with intent to cause bodily harm and was sentenced to four years in jail. He was released on parole in August 2009 and rejoined Swan Districts for the 2010 season.
Krakouer played a starring role for the team that season, winning the club's best and fairest, the league's best and fairest, and was named best on ground in Swan Districts' one-point grand final win over Claremont.
Krakouer's former coach at Swan Districts, Brian Dawson, said watching him resurrect his career after spending time in jail had been a privilege.
"He owned his sentence with good grace, and worked very hard to rehabilitate himself which he did a fantastic job of doing," Dawson told ABC Radio Perth.
"He was very keen to resurrect his football and his life and make sure he was providing well for his family.
"And he repaid [Swan Districts] in spades."
Dawson said Krakouer's legacy as a player went beyond his individual brilliance.
"He was a great team player and he knew how to bring others into the game," he said.
"He wasn't all about himself he was very much about the team."
In 2011, he was signed by Collingwood and made an immediate impact for the reigning premiers, kicking 35 goals on the way to the AFL grand final, where he booted three majors as the Magpies went down to Geelong.
