Do the first gamers get given a game ball post-match?
While there might be multiple debutants on any given match, surely there's enough game balls on the day to accommodate this.
Also, have we ever had a player on debut suspended?

He put the slipper into an Eagles player on the ground - if my memory serves me correctly.  |

Yes, got six weeks from memory for a light tap with the boot to the calf of a player standing over him when he was lying on the ground and had been trod on. Ludicrous penalty. |

I recall it differently, but memory can play tricks. I visualise Francis standing over the Eagles player, who was on the ground. In any case, it was nothing more than a light flick of his boot. I remember at the time, being thrilled that we had a player who had a bit of mongrel about him! |

| I remember it well. It was a limp kick..a tap really. More to do with the look of it than the force of it. |

I’m going to make a statement here -open to discussion
I watched Sully’s run down tackle to gain a shot at goal. He nailed it
Oh my statement!! Could be a better,tougher tackler than McCreery

Ummmm......no. Nevertheless, he's a very good tackler and tough as nails. I reckon he's our Adams replacement. |

Yes, memory does play tricks, Now that you have described it, you might be right. What I do know is that the .weagle player did something painful to him first - maybe raked him with stops or something. It was an instinctive reaction and very light. |

^And I think the vision made it look like it was in the nads, too. Not sure if it really was, though.
