Hawthorn defender Denver Grainger-Barras made a promising start to his AFL career in Sundayâs win over GWS at the MCG.
Grainger-Barras made his long-awaited debut against the Giants after spending an indefinite stint on the sidelines with a knee injury sustained in a VFL practice match in March.
The 19-year-old showcased his aerial strength, taking four marks and collecting seven disposals before a head knock prematurely ended his afternoon.
Kane Cornes was extremely impressed with what he saw from the Hawks first-gamer, who got 56 minutes of game time under his belt.
