IT took one game for Chris Lee to be hooked on senior football.

As the dual Red Cliffs premiership player prepares to run out for the 200th time this weekend, Lee said his debut back in 2001 was a bit of a blur.

But he can still recall the speed of the contest standing out.

"I remember it was a night game at Red Cliffs, it was a big crowd," he said.

"We lost to Mildura by about 10 goals, which was a big disappointment for the team at the time.

"It just went so fast, I just remember it was so quick and it was really intoxicating to play in that higher speed game."
