The Hot Breakfast was celebrating the 25th anniversary of Darce's first AFL game on Tuesday morning.

Calling to commemorate the occasion was Doug from Braybrook, who had a vivid memory of the occasion.

Turns out it was then-Footscray veteran Doug Hawkins, who recalled a confident young Darce strutting his stuff after being picked and a desolate figure in the rooms after the game! 

"I went over to 'Libba' (Tony Liberatore) because Libba was rover, I said Libba, how did Darce go?" he recalled.

"He said Hawk, I don't reckon he kicked it. I DON'T RECKON HE GOT A KICK!"

"You never got a kick Darce! THAT'S AMAZING BROTHER!"

It's an all-time funny story from Doug!
