IF RICHMOND gets the feeling one of the enemy is close, it's not wrong.
A large mural of Hawthorn champion Shaun Burgoyne has been created across the road from the MCG.
The Hawks have enlisted some of Melbourne's top street artists in a campaign to 'turn the city brown and gold' ahead of their first home game of the season at the 'G on Sunday.

The portrait was created over five days by world-renowned artist Adnate.
Burgoyne said it was a "little embarrassing" and a "little bit weird" but he thought Adnate had done a fantastic job.
"Hopefully it stays there for a while.... I don't know know if the Tiger Army will be too happy with it, but it's a nice spot. We'll see how long it lasts."
