Only player even warm

RICHMOND ruckman Toby Nankervis has done something none of the other 43 players in Saturday’s game have – he’s actually warmed up for an AFL grand final.

This year marks the first time since the very first premiership playoff that no player has had past grand final experience but Nankervis has come the closest as an emergency for Sydney last year.

He had played for the Swans in the semi-final win over Adelaide but lost his spot for the preliminary final. He did warm up for the grand final.
