It was a history making performance by the Blues against Port Adelaide at AAMI Stadium on Sunday.

Zac Tuohy became the first player to make his Carlton debut against Port Adelaide in a winning team. The previous closest had been Callum Chambers and Troy Longmuir who made their Carlton debut in the round 4 draw against Port Adelaide at AAMI Stadium in 2005.

Prior to Tuohy’s successful debut, seven players had made their Carlton debut against Port Adelaide without enjoying team success. Hulme, Livingston, Hoppner (all AFL debut), Chambers, Longmuir, Damian Lang and Mick Martyn.

Andrew Walker’s six goal performance equaled the best by a Carlton player in a match against Port Adelaide. Walker joins current coach Brett Ratten (6 goals in round 6, 2000) and Brendan Fevola (6 goals in round 2, 2009) as Carlton’s highest goalkicker in a game against Port Adelaide.
