Evans, a rover, came to Collingwood from Reservoir Colts and was just 17 when he was picked to make his first VFL debut in the seventh round of the 1981 season, having appeared in only three reserves games.[1][2][3] Playing against South Melbourne, the debutant had 18 disposals and kicked two goals, as Collingwood won by 65 points.[3] He also played against Essendon, at Waverley Park the following week.[3]
