lockett's first game
does anyone know who it was against and where and when? how did he go, what number did he wear etc?
a friend of mine swears it was the morwood/foschini game, but i'm not so certain.

Yeah, the back page of the Herald Sun sports lift out a few weeks ago highlighted the match.
Spoke of the ho-ha about Foscini and Morwood and spoke to a few of the players involved.
It mentioned as a side-note that a bloke wearing 37 named Tony Lockett made his debut and kicked a goal with his first kick. It also made mention of the fact that he was commuting from Ballarat.
Interesting article.

I think you may be right....Jacko was given the arse after kicking 10 goals against Shytme in Sydney for that reason.cowboy18 wrote:Didn't Mark "Jacko" Jackson have to make way to fit him in? Or is my memory mucking around with me?
It is talked about on Saints and Sinners DVD.

After all the planning then coach Tony Jewell had done to structure up a potentially good forwardline with Silvio Foschini to crumb - Jacko just told everyone to eff off, "I'll kick all the goals in this club" he is alleged to have told the coach!! So, big Plugger got the nod, Jacko the boot and the rest is history..saintspremiers wrote:I think you may be right....Jacko was given the arse after kicking 10 goals against Shytme in Sydney for that reason.cowboy18 wrote:Didn't Mark "Jacko" Jackson have to make way to fit him in?

I want to stand for something. I'm a loyal person and I think at the end of my career it will be great to look back and know that I'm a St Kilda person for life.

Sounds like that kid learned from Jacko! He seemed to have a similar philosophy with respect to forward structure.bigcarl wrote:sounds like he seriously underestimated the kid in the reserves named a. lockettyipper wrote:Jacko just told everyone to eff off, "I'll kick all the goals in this club" he is alleged to have told the coach!
Lovely moments on the terraces at moorabbin - during one of the carnival vibe interstate games (when the non Vics were hopeless) - folk yelling out "feed the fat man" while he was on one of his sprees.

Just to clear things up ....
He played 12 matches in his first year - 1983.
He debuted in R4 against Geelong at Waverley kicking 2 goals from the wing.
He did play against North, but it was at Moorabbin (not Arden St.) in R12 (his 3rd game).

For interest
In his 183 games for us he kicked 898 goals an average of 4.91 per game.
Only Hudson (5.64) and Coleman (5.48) had higher averages.
He was goal-less in just 13 of those matches.

hudson and coleman played in good teams for most of their careers, but i don't think you can say the same for plugger.Enrico_Misso wrote:In his 183 games for us he kicked 898 goals an average of 4.91 per game.

also, the hawks had a special gameplan for hudson. they'd chuck everyone on the ball and give him the whole forward line.
