West Coast's Tom Barrass has kicked his first career goal in his 100th AFL match to become the first man in the game's history to have ticked off the odd feat.

Usually positioned down back for the Eagles, Barrass had been trialled as a forward across the pre-season because of the side's enormous injury list – and he played up front as West Coast fell by 27 points to the Gold Coast Suns in round one.

The crowd in the west immediately rose to their feet when Barrass slotted his breakthrough goal during the first term, while a mobbing from his teammates added to the awesome moment.
