Nathan Drummond will return in the VFL Dreamtime game after 13 months out after a knee reconstruction.

The midfielder is related to indigenous leader Doug Nicholls, who this weekend’s themed round is named after.

He is also the great great grandson of William Cooper, who of the country’s most prominent Aboriginal activists.

The 21-year-old tore his ACL in Round 4 last year in his AFL debut in front of his family and friends.

What would it be like trying to watch this game from the stands? Big turn out because of the dreamtime game after?

Interesting that he isn't named in the VFL then.

I'm only guessing as I didn't see training but Ben could be just doing the non-contact drills so he can still keep his fitness up until he's 100% right and over any concussion issues.

And a very good guess it is

Not a problem will be heaps of room.
On that note, why the hell do they block off the goals at Brunton Ave end these days 
Just more Richmond nonsense.
