Nathan Drummond will play football for the first time in 13 months this weekend. He hasn't been able to do it since his knee crumpled in his very first game for Richmond last year, and that alone is enough to make him feel nervous, excited and optimistic about what will happen from here. "It could be any week, any round, any game," he said, "and I'd just be happy to be out there."
That it's happening this week makes it mean just a little bit more. There's some serendipity in the fact that it's the Indigenous Round, that Richmond's VFL team will play Essendon in their own version of the Dreamtime game and that the winning team will be given the Sir Doug Nicholls Trophy. Drummond found out just a few years ago that he is related to the footballer, athlete, boxer, social worker, pastor and Indigenous leader. "It's pretty special," he said. "It's a nice coincidence. It's good to be back, but it's especially good to be back out there this week."
