Thousands of Richmond fans have packed Punt Road to watch their team train one last time before Saturday's Grand Final.

Debutant Marlion Pickett was a fan favourite, the mid-season rookie named to play his first AFL game on the biggest stage of all, replacing the injured Jack Graham.

The crowd reserved a special cheer for Pickett, who was one of the last onto the track.

Emergencies Jack Ross, Ryan Garthwaite, Kamdyn McIntosh and Sydney Stack all trained, Stack leaving the field with an arm around Pickett, a fellow late addition to the club.

Ross – the first-year player withdrawn from last Sunday's VFL premiership win as a precautionary basis – also received a special acknowledgement from the crowd as he left.

As for the session itself, the Tigers kept things relatively light and simple: a warm-up, a variation on the classic "five-star" kicking drill, handball keepings-off, a full-ground run-through and goalkicking to finish.

The Jack Dyer stand was packed with yellow and black, with more than a few sporting haircuts in the style of their hero, Dustin Martin.

Radio and television journalists did live crosses from the ground, as club president Peggy O'Neal and CEO Brendon Gale watched on.
