He averages pretty much 12 possessions per game against every single opposition club (15 vs us, 9 vs North - ironically, vs North he has played in 8-wins and just 2-losses).
He is SUPER consistent. What you get from him every single week is 12-touches, 3-marks ands 2-goals. That game a couple of weeks ago vs us was the first time he had kicked more than 4 in a game. He is a solid, consistent performer.
I'm sorry but I don't get the hate here...he is a good player who delivers equally no matter what the venue (though York Park is where his highest per game averages are!) and no matter the opposition.
How could going after Darling be seen as a negative in any way...
