Richmond fans have flocked into Melbourne's CBD to support their side for one final time ahead of Saturday's AFL Grand Final.

Around 100,000 fans were tipped to have bid the Tigers and Greater Western Sydney's players good luck during the Toyota AFL Grand Final Parade, which delivered the players to the MCG on Friday.

Yellow and black crowds largely outweighed those in orange and charcoal ahead of Saturday's match which will be Richmond's second Grand Final in three seasons after triumphing in 2017.

Young teammates Jayden Short and Liam Baker are two of six Tigers who will be running out in their first Grand Final on Saturday.

Short played up until Round 18 in 2017 but was forced out of the side by the returning Bachar Houli, while Baker only joined the club at the end of that year.

"I've had little tips here and there, but really it's just embrace the week and play your normal game and just enjoy it as much as you can," Short said.

"It's been an awesome week, and this is where you want to play football. I'm looking forward to today (the Grand Final Parade) as well."



The 21-year-old Baker started the year as a forward but will be lining up at the other end of the ground on Saturday after a mid-season switch.

"It's actually been all right. I was a bit scratchy early, but I've got better as the year's gone on. I'm loving it down there at the moment, playing my role for the team, and the back seven's pretty settled now," Baker said.

"The nerves aren't too bad yet, just excited, looking forward to doing the parade and all that comes with it.

"It actually has been a normal week, [but] with the extra excitement, the parade, the extra messages and media. Hopefully from now until the game, everything's the same."
