Marlion PickettIt couldn't be anyone else, could it? Pickett recorded one of the most famous debuts in football history when he became the first player in 67 years to make his debut in a Grand Final for the 2019 premiership decider against Greater Western Sydney. Having been plucked from the mid-season rookie draft, Pickett, then 27, was brought into the Tigers' line-up for the clash against the Giants after a run of hot VFL form. He delivered on the biggest stage of all, collecting 22 disposals and kicking a goal, making the highlights reel with a dazzling blind turn and finishing third in the Norm Smith Medal voting in Richmond's historic win.
Other contenders: Dustin Martin (18 disposals, R1 2010),
Trent Cotchin (16 disposals, two goals, R8 2008),
Kamdyn McIntosh (23 disposals, one goal, R1 2015),
Jack Ross (25 disposals, R4 2019)
