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.

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

Bigfooty loved it.

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

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

What was Jako's debut like?

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.

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.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
