RICHMOND midfielder Brett Deledio got a scare on the club’s flight to Perth on Thursday when he found himself sitting next to Fremantle tagger Ryan Crowley.

The Tigers star posted a picture of himself and his nemesis on Instagram, adding, “Wouldn’t bloody read about it #stillcan’tshakehim #clamp”.

With Crowley by his side, it was likely nuts and soft drinks were hard earned for 'Lids' during the four-hour flight.

When Deledio takes the field against West Coast on Friday night, Richmond fans will undoubtedly be hoping he finds a little more space.
