2006 ACL victims - realistic expectations in 2007?

I almost think 2 years out of the game could be a blessing for Darcy. His body would be almsot perfect - bar those knees of course - and ready for action. He's at a slight advantage because the last 2 seasons he hasn't had to contend with the wear and tear on his body of playing in matches.

Plus, if the Rolls Royce is still purring, I'm sure Darcy can offer something.

But is he purring. I thought Chris was great last year but did struggle towards the end of the year. Every time he went near the ball and there was a pack coming I shuddered as he copped a lot of hits. At age 34 going on to 35 he should be used off the bench and we can't expect much from him either.

Darcy should be able to provide a good target as a key forward. I think if he was asked to ruck a bit he would struggle but he can be eased back into the team as a forward.

Grant will play CHB and should be more than OK.
