Good point Berg. I think that Faletic game was at the Western Oval. I'm pretty sure i witnessed one of his only great performances.

Yes it was at Western Oval,I was there and we thought how good is this guy going to be,talking in the car on the way home we came to the conclusion not to get too carried away,opposition wasn't much and everyone seemed to be getting amongst the goals.Anyway good luck to him great debut...............terrible name but

I was certain Alan Murray kicked 4 in his debut game with us v Hawthorn?

Right, but he'd already played one game for Port - by kosi's original criteria I was only using guys who played their very first game for us.

Did not know he debuted at Port. Thanks for the clarification.

A couple of Murray's 4 goals were quite fortuitous that day, from the goal square if I remember correctly.. In any case, a good club debut, but I reckon Spence has a bit more of a career ahead of him than Budge ended up forging.

Has anyone got any vision of when he went for a bounce?

Pav, haven't watched this yet, but I'm hoping … !

Edit: I've watched it now. It's great. These are worthwhile PR efforts.

No pressure from Sammy at all as he hands over the guernsey

Pav, it shows the almost successful run up the wing. In slow mo.

(And my left hand, the back of my oldest son's head as they run onto the ground, and my little banner running bloke on the other side )

Thanks Semper.

Great list Bergholt, but some of them had played before. Jackson, Callery, Herbert?

So I guess Spencer kicked the most goals on debut since Greg McAdam.

Great video by the club, kudos to all concerned.

Fair points, obviously my visual scanning of the AFL tables data was a bit dubious!

I don't remember back that far - what was the deal with Greg McAdam? Some reason he didn't go on to bigger and better things?

Thanks, Bratty!

That was great. Some fantastic footage of his game and a candid look into the behind the scenes preparation before the match.

He seemed like a bright lad in the post-match interview. Not once did he use the word "obviously". Impressive.

I don't remember much about McAdam's debut but I do remember the next week when he scored 2 goals against Carlton out of a total of ....erm....2 goals.

Jack Billings on the other hand looked so shy he'd puke having to do the meet and greet.

That could be my brothers fault. He spoke to him briefly at the season launch. Probably Jacks first club duties away from training. I watched young Jack slowly, slowly back away from the maniacal stare of a man who has been waiting a long time to see a flag...

injuries

[Con Gorozidis]

Touch wood he gets through the game unscathed today..... Don't want to put the mozza on him.

But to put in perspective. There arent any key fwds in the whole comp younger than Spencer who are getting games.

Joe Daniher is 20 1/2. Boyd is 19 and not going any better than Spencer. And thats pretty much it.

He is as good as anyone at his age in that position in the country.

Sandy need him next week so no injuries please


And no pressure on him there Con

[noob]

After a good debut he had a really good start to his second game. Thing I noticed watching is that he is too deep in the contest. Not sure if its a fitness issue or he times his run late. For a big fella needs to get into more contests. Plenty to work on though!
