If he works out, then it’s some amazing recruiting. 22 yr old with basically zero top level footy that has obviously shown above average traits to the right people

Isn't footy great! One minute you're frustrated and got the *smile*, next minute you're rejoicing in a livewire debut by an exciting young player who sparks a 1 pt win at the death! What life is all about!
Indeed a roller coaster for supporters. Spare a thought for mini. I wouldn’t have wanted to be his sphincter when we were 6 goals down and career aspirations taking a whooping. Instead he can add another win and in game genius to his dossier.

Is living the dream, well done young man. He won't wash his hair for a week after Dusty gave him a hug, and his hair a rub after he kicked that barrel to him in the goal square.

Just a reminder, it's not the politically incorrect "Cool Tard" as the commentators called him , it's "Coolthard"

Bloody hell. Balmey the great looking to be in extremely poor nick in the back ground of that photo. Knew he'd had some health issues and lost some weight the last couple of years, but the poor old bugger's looking like he's just about ready to fall off the perch at any moment. He's only four years older than me n looking like's he's a 100 n ready to declare his innings.
 
Surely the 2 running bounces on the wing of the MCG

On debut,

Is a very very exclusive club?

Appears a bit like a free and more composed version of bobby hill at this early stage?

But wait - there's more!

He took the mark on D50 and then took the bounces.
He's hit Dusty on the chest with a perfect pass - then got it back from the champ - and kicked next pass to Cotch who gave it to Jack for the goal.

I'm no statistician - but in that single play I'm crediting him with
1 mark - probably contested
2 bounces
2 kicks at 100%
1 handball received
1 Inside-50
1 goal assist
120 meters gained

That's exactly who he remineded me of. But as you say with more composure. The most impactful sub we have had this year, and under more pressure than ever. Lose and its year over. Kudos to the young man.

Think Ross may have him covered for most impactful sub.
Came on for Bauer and got votes but I take your point

I must say i was waiting for him to grab his hammy- almost an exact replica of Bauer first minutes! Tho Bauer didnt get the bounces.

Na, Ross had 50 games under his belt and a whole game to perform. Coulthard came on when we were 5 goals down and basically done. In his first game. And influenced the result.
