Who debuted in a grand final, which of them won/lost?

I doubt anyone has debuted in a grand final

It has happened! I can't remember the name, but I know I've read about someone who not only made his debut in a grand final, but it was his ONLY grand final. If I find it, I'll post it. Happened way back when.

[Alex7089]

Do you mean only Grand Final or only game, I thought there was at least one as well, like very early on though.

[ossie85]

Yeah, sorry, I meant it was his only game.

[Fletch74]

Yeah, sorry, I meant it was his only game.

Pretty sure he shot himself in the foot in the off-season, hence why he never played again...

[Big_Cox14]

Luke Shuey should be added to that listed as well.

[Pav29]

A lotof good players there.. Some are actually suprising. Harley????

[bunyip]

If you look at some of the Collingwood Grand Finals in the 70's and 80's they used to have a reputation for playing rookies in a grand final. I haven't researched this, just going from memory. It should be said though that it never worked.
