What do we think? Is it worth bringing him in. He is only 26, i thought he was older. Would he be half the player without Kennedy taking the best defender?

News is slow atm. Needs to play second fiddle so assume Naughton forward. We'd had to eat right into that war chest as well. Even with a gun forward in Kennedy Darling has a lot of nothing games. Still, he might except marginally more than what he's on to come over and shore up his super. I wouldn't pay massive massive coin for him. What would he be on now? 650k max?
His best and worst are miles apart, just like the team - he will fit in perfectly!
Billy Gowers will appreciate another whipping boy to take some of the heat off as well!
I honestly think there is a 1% chance of this happening.
Excellent player, unfairly maligned for 1 or 2 incidents, but a WA boy with a WA partner playing for WCE with a premiership list. By god we'd have to overpay handsomely.
I'd take him in a heartbeat.
Darling is a stud but I’m gonna need a better source than Karl Langdon before I get too excited.
He's like 6'3 but moves like a 6'7 player He'll be shit in a bad forward line.
All I can think of is this
They'd demand pick 5 or English. My two main memories of him are:
- shitting himself in the 2016 EF when Dunkley was near him
- dropping the easiest uncontested mark in the history of Grand Finals to kick a goal from 1 metre out to win the premiership last year and luckily it didn't cost them the flag. (Plus he did nothing in the GF outside of 15 minutes in the third.
So I'd keep Pick 5, English and the money.
He's an RFA next year which may help anyone in trade negotiations.
At least (if the rumours are true) we're thinking big.
