Cheezel the youngest player since 1999 to get more than 30 touches 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
When was the last time a first year player had at least 30 touches on debut? Has there ever been one? This kid is guaranteed to become a superstar of the AFL providing he stays healthy. He reads the game and stays calm under pressure. The kid is quick between the ears and seems to have more time than is really the case, which is unbelievable for an 18 year old. Extend his contract now.

We’ve been crying out for a first round draft pick to burst on to the scene, it happens for every other team but not us. Our first round draft picks are either injured or very slow burns. Today Harry Sheezel set the AFL alight in his first game in the Royal Blue & White. As the footy world sat up and took notice we sat back with the knowledge that he‘s a Shinboner. Thank you Harry. Thank you.

Kid's created history. Now holds the record for the most disposals on debut by a teenager in the history of the game - well certainly since stats were recorded in 1965.

Greig was just shy of 23 and Williams was 20.
