Apart from John Georgiades kicking 8 goals on debut for us against Carlton at Princes Park in the opening round of 1989, I immediately thought of Ben Sexton kicking a bag on debut (not sure of he kicked 5 or 6 goals) against the Brisbane Bears at the kennel in 1991.
Thought you might have also been talking about Ross Christensen but he kicked a bag in his 2nd game (against Hawthorn at the kennel in 1982). Was Bluey Hampshire's first win as coach after taking over from Royce Hart a couple of weeks earlier. We came from a mile back at 3/4 time to get up.

I immediately thought of Rod Coutts from Kaniva in about 1964.
He played on one of those 6 game permits and went back to the bush pretty quickly.
Unfortunately, I can't recall the other details.

You're a little closer time frame wise.

This bloke played with Bluey.
Had a good career
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

I got desperate and went to AFLtables.com.au. Couldn't find a Dogs player that's kicked 6 on Debut.

Round 1 2012. West Coast.
Clay Smith kicks 4 goals then suffers a whole of body cramp.
I hope like hell he makes it back. He's too talented not to have a long and prosperous career.

Re: Name A Game (Off Season Trivia Game)
This was a home game played at Optus Oval in the late 90s which ended in a draw. I need 3 things:
The Year;
The opponent;
The player who saved the game with a desperate piece of play on the opposing goal line.

My dad made me leave that game early. I stopped going to the games with dad for a while after that.

That is funny.
Bit like the Richmond draw in the early 00's. The whole row in front of me left with 3 minutes to go.
