How many players have Debuted in a final?
With Jack Steven being picked as an in this week, there is a chance, through selection or as an emergency through injury, that he will play his first game as a final.
Who else has done this? I think Gwilt played his 2nd game in a final. No others come to mind.

He played 29 games for Carlton, 20 of them, in fact, in 1970. So, he wasn't a debutante. He only played one more game after the 1970 GF.howlinwolf wrote:I could be wrong (correct me if I am) but wouldn't the most famous of the finals' debutants be Ted Hopkins for Carlton ?
Didn't he kick 4 goals to beat Collingwood in a GF ? And then never be heard from again ?

I agree too, however, I feel warm and fuzzy about a Steven debut in this game, not sure why, have only seen the kid play in a NAB Cup game....LTN16 wrote:AgreesaintsRrising wrote:I think that if they wanted to play Steven in a final that they would have already given him a game..
Selection is most likely an encouragement award.
Think Eddy is OK, just might not be going quite well enough to keep his spot ideally, probably Steven is not the right replacement, maybe Mini isn't either, maybe Eddy can play a defensive role, he's on the edge.....

Thanks Perfectionist. I had the feeling I wasn't quite on the mark there.
