Your favourite Tiger one-hit wonder?

Who was your favourite Tiger one-hit wonder?

It could be someone you remember long ago who had a great senior debut or someone who starred in a single game and you thought would go on with it but didn't.


Eg: RICHMOND - Dean Polo (v Essendon at the MCG, Round Six, 2006)

There are few bigger stages to debut on than ‘Dreamtime at the G’. Richmond gave Dean Polo that very opportunity in 2006, two years after taking the Gippsland prospect at pick 20 in the AFL Draft. Polo would send Tiger fans into raptures, picking up 28 disposals and booting three goals, the third levelling the scores in the dying stages against the Bombers. The Tigers prevailed with a two-point victory, and what appeared to be a new star on the AFL scene, with Polo taking home the Yiooken Award for best afield. That debut would prove to be his finest performance, as a 77-game career ended at St Kilda.

Justin Plapp for me.
A 5 goal debut methinks.
