Richmond fan adds splash of yellow and black to Warrnambool CBD

Kylie Martin is wearing special Tiger-themed outfits and face paint with pride in the lead-up to Saturday's AFL grand final against GWS Giants at the MCG.

Martin, who works at Nanna's Drawers, said she was a lifelong Richmond supporter who was "fairly confident" coach Damien Hardwick could deliver a second premiership in three seasons to Punt Road.

"I think we should win but hopefully the umpires are fair because they've put a lot of effort into GWS," she said.

Martin, 48, said the Tigers' 2017 triumph, which broke a 37-year flag drought, was her fondest football memory.

"I have barracked for the Tigers all my life and I just love the colours yellow and black," she said.

"Matthew Richardson (was my favourite player) first off and then Dusty Martin because he takes off my last name. I do say he's like my second son but he's not."
