Tonight’s game at the MCG is a dream come true for Lachie Cowan, the 18-year-old football prodigy from Tassie’s North-West who had been eagerly anticipating his debut in the big league for Carlton.
The youngster had been making waves in the AFL for a while now, thanks to his impressive performance in the under-18 national competition, where he was crowned the joint winner of the best and fairest award last season.
