Sam Darcy:- Welcome to the Western Bulldogs

[BornInDroopSt'54]

I hope not. He’s already grown more than I would have thought is ideal, don’t want it to negatively affect his agility.

I feel like a parent worried about a child taking on men.
It is his knees I fear for. Memory of his dad's still haunt me plus Sam if taller yet athletic. Don't stumble giraffe!
Yet he is balanced and is border elite mark already.

With Luke’s channel 7 commitments he likely won’t be able to see Sam debut live.

I thought Sam was excellent in his first game.

A few 'copters early would have had his confidence edging south, but he still went for the high ball and backed his marking ability. He could have been a bit more defencive one or two times throughout the day, but overall an excellent marking game and he became a little more sure with ball in hand.

Well done young fella. A lot of pressure today, but you showed you can handle it.

In the darkness, there was Sam.

Agree was as good as any of our talls in the air.

Not sure he's a defender by crikey he has a big future.

Great game first up. Look forward to him playing next week. I’d hate to be footing the food bill at the Darcy house as he needs to eat and bulk up over the pre season.

Would loved to have given him 15 minutes up forward today. Who knows he bay have clunked a few

I thought that move could have been made too. Him taking a grab and kicking a goal could have electrified a group that looked stale and out of ideas.

Just as a trivia question.......... who IS the tallest bulldog ever?

Do we think Darcy will grow those extra couple of CMs to become the tallest bulldog ever?

At a guess Peter Street? Or is that too easy?

That's some memory! Spot on.

We had plenty of ideas. Kick over the heads of everyone going forward, kick along the ground to mix things up, and burn each other and take the kick yourself just for laughs.

How dare you say we lacked ideas!

We implemented them to perfection.

We implemented them to perfection.

We were innovators this evening. Misunderstood.
