Your debut game, he has one of the worst afternoons of his life on a football field.
First five minutes, all I can recall was just like how fast it was and how aggressive it was, you know.
ball kind of got kicked around I kind of remember it bouncing up in front of me and I was going to grab it and just I think there's Luke Parker and somebody like just full tilt just clapping into each other and the ball was over there and just the the intent to get the ball and to compete was just like nothing I'd ever seen it's this one particular moment down the third tier end where he's running onto a ground ball and I was on his tail and I sort of just went to put contact on him and contest the ball.
And all I remember is just this deep boo, like as loud as you can hear, just this rumbling
boo
And then as I've pushed him off and he slipped over and I've won it, it turned into this roar of celebration.
That for me as a moment was like the moment of my debut and the moment that welcomed me to the AFL of beating Goodsy in a one-on-one and having this boo turn to a roar of support and excitement.
But as times progressed and as I watched that documentary, I realised just the significance and how ugly the moment is and how disgraceful the moment is.
