Duryea won't sweat the vest in his first Grand Final
For his first Grand Final, defender won't worry if he's wearing green
TAYLOR Duryea is happy to embrace the substitute's vest if it is thrown his way on Saturday.
In fact Duryea will gleefully accept any sort of task coach Alastair Clarkson has in mind for the Grand Final, provided Hawthorn get over the line.
Duryea hasn't been the Hawks' substitute since round 15, but a bit-part role holds plenty of appeal for a 23-year-old in his first Grand Final - especially one who was named an emergency this time last year.
This season Duryea played 22 AFL matches, but still doubt crept into the back of his mind this week given Cyril Rioli's expected recall.
