Toast Ben Paton to Debut

[George]

Ben Paton has been named as an emergency ten times.
Ten times he’s completed the warm-up, ten times he’s watched on from the sidelines.
But this Friday night, the ex-Murray Bushranger will finally get his shot at senior footy.
Alan Richardson this morning confirming Paton will line up against Essendon.

I guess we've known for a day or so now but congratulations to the young fella...seems like he has been playing some solid football in the VFL and hopefully can play well tomorrow night against the Bombers.

Oscar Clavarino, Ray Connellan and Doulton Langlands the only players left on the list waiting on a debut.

In a horror year at least we have trialed a lot of kids and know what we've got.

Great news. Good on the lad.

He's shown a bit in the twos. Hopefully he can make a good fist of it on debut

Hope the kid gets through the game ok, & does enough to play the rest of the year.

Set him up for a big pre-season & a good start to 2019.

So sensible, measured and positive response as always!
