Which current MFC players hold the highest and lowest possessions on AFL debut for the club



Recommended Posts

The following questions revolve around the current list, so ignore players that exited before 2008.

Which current MFC player polled the highest amount of possessions on debut with 20?

Which current MFC player polled the lowest amount of possessions on debut?

Which current MFC player kicked the most goals on debut with just 2!!?

Can Addam Maric break any of these records? As you can see, there haven't been any amazing debuts statistically or goal kicking wise when you look at the current list.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Brent Moloney actually gained 24 possessions (and 3 brownlow votes) in his MFC debut in 2005 V Essendon, but he doesn't fit the above criteria as he had already debuted for Geelong in 2003.

Nathan Carroll of all players holds the record for most marks on debut with 6 back in round 4 2003 V Geelong

I'll post answers in a day or so.

I'd guess that Ricky Petterd had about 20 possies on debut, as for the lowest, Col (both Sylvia & Garland) had one handball I think. No idea about the goal kicker, but I'd guess Newton.

Dunn kicked 2 goals against Geelong rd 6 2006 on debut

correct!!!!

So if Maric gets 21 touches, 7 marks and 3 goals, he's smashed the record of all debutants.

No pressure :lol:

Most touches - Petterd (20) rd 5 2007 V Sydney

Least touches - Rivers (0) rd 19 V Geelong

Most Goals - Dunn (2) Rd 6 2006 V Geelong

Most Marks - Carroll (6) Rd 4 2003 V Geelong

Sylvia wasn't far behind with 1 handball and one 1 tackle on debut.

Don't forget that he also knocked out Leigh Colbert in the dying seconds of the game. Not many players can boast that on debut.

Also, when Sylvia played his second game a few weeks later, he kicked a goal with his first ever kick but this somehow seems to be bypassed by those in charge of record books.

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know what the greatest debut by a MFC player would have been?

What was Jako's debut like?

Didn't Daren Cuthberson kick 7 @ 6 in his fist two games?

Jakovich debuted in a game vs WC in Perth where the whole team managed 2 goals in a 10 goal + hiding, I don't think he kicked either goal

I think I remember that game, we had something like 4 key forwards playing, Lyon, Bennett, Schwartz and Jako. The day was a disaster but it signaled a new exciting era for our forwards.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
