The crowd clapped and cheered when he came on for his first run and went nuts when he went near the ball the first few times. Then the standing ovation he got with that Lynch play. All for a first gamer.

His skills were a bit shaky at times but he looked right at home out there.

Needs to get a sensible haircut, like that Jonas boy. Now there's a young man you'd want your daughter to bring home for tea.

 

[Grave Danger]

Watch out when we let him tackle the opposition...

 

[bomberclifford]

What a cracker debut. Amazing.

 

[ibd77]

Rising Star nom?

Take a number, six other Sydney players are ahead of him at the moment.

 

[Killer Power]

Men want to be him, women want to be with him.

Every time he went near it there were dozens of people around me just calling out LACHY!

Wow that's all .

 

[Northalives]

Lynch goes the man, Jones goes the ball. Classic youth.

and classic Port!

If a 100 game player turned in that performance against the reigning premiers in a marquee Friday night match you would be thinking, Shit he was good tonight.

Lachie Jones was playing his first game on his 19th birthday.

 

[Eighteen Seventy]

He's not ready for AFL

The AFL is not ready for him.

 

[gbear]

Superb first game!

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Lachie also had 436m gained, third highest for Port.

 

[ozph1870]

Can tell he grew up a port supporter..

 

[snozulu]

The only player in the comp with a mullet that suits him.

 

[davesnothere]

The best thing about his debut is that it's obvious he will get better.

Only one.

 

[MrChow]

He is gonna crunch a few in his time. Love it.

Yep, my words. Feels good being wrong though.

 

[Macca19]

The thing that continues to surprise me is just how quick he is. He looks like he should be slow, but he is lightning quick off the mark

Turned on a dime to get away from Lynch.

Hell be like DBJ.

Teams will be constantly surprised and caught out by his pace.

I said a little while back that Lachie has a bit of Greg Phillips about him. Not quite as big and as huge a marking presence, but still physically big and mature, plays like he belongs out there, is so composed and is surprisingly quick for his size. Where Greg was key position big, Lachie is sports car fast.

He seems so unflappable. In the sanfl last year, he just took on whatever role he was given and went about it. No fuss, no bother. High flying marks, big tackles, bursting runs, all done as if they were just there to be done, why are you all so excited?

In the AFL he is no different, even with his guernsey presentation.
