    Re: Sam Darcy:- Welcome to the Western Bulldogs

    Article on him on the AFL site

    https://www.afl.com.au/news/817731/d...-a-big-dog-now

    More importantly though is that apparently Rocket was his coach at Scotch College (Jamarra too but only for the year there was no footy). When asked about Darcy on the Danny Boyd podcast he didn't want to compare him to any specific AFL players because he was 'too unique' but when asked to make a comparison with Danniher said he would be 'a better player' than Danniher.

    Also thinks he'll be a forward eventually

    Sam is such a good mark this supersedes some of his need to defend man on man. He will not be outmarked if in position.
    Getting into marking position is the challenge.

    I got way more exited thinking about Sam Darcy whilst he was dominating at times today than a fella probably should if I'm honest.

    Actually, wait…

    Did we not really mention that Darcy kicked a goal around the corner on his opposite foot….

    In those conditions….

    Great to see him kick a couple for us up forward. Has looked very good since he debuted. His marking is great.

    Very exciting to see Darcy up toward we just need him to add 20kg and he could’ve the next Tommy hawk

    What a problem for the match committee Naughton, Darcy, JUH, Lobb, Bruce and Buku. We gonna need a bigger membership team
    BB.

    Looking forward - Naughton, Darcy and JUH. It will be the envy of everyone.

    Re: Sam Darcy:- Welcome to the Western Bulldogs

    You can't drop him after the performance on the weekend, but I have a feeling he will be a deer in the headlights with the added pressure and bright lights in a fortnight's time.

    But, that's not to detract from the excitement of him actually getting the opportunity and what he has shown to date. This lad can and will do anything, he's just got IT.

    it will be amazing to see he and Marra play low/ high/ high/ low and rip opposition teams to shreds, while Naughton just hovers over everyone at will.

    Never in my time could I imagine us being so well endowed with such quality talls. JUH, Naughton and Darcy are going to put fear into teams for ten years.
    Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.
