Sam Berry never thought he would earn an AFL debut in his first season at the Crows, let alone in Round One.
But to his surprise, the contested ball-winning beast earned a call-up to Adelaide’s senior side for the opening round clash against Geelong.
Not only did he make a strong impression with seven tackles, he was also fortunate enough to get a win.
With the bye round in full swing, Berry said his first AFL game was the highlight so far.
“The debut game is probably up there with one of the best days of my life,” Berry said.
“I didn’t see my parents in the crowd but I could definitely hear them.
“I had some cousins come over as well and I had probably six or seven mates from Melbourne drive over and they were on the boundary.
“It was pretty exciting to see them straight after the game.
