    Even better Chef, Will is 17, Max is 15 and is also being talked about as a possible gun. There's a chancy we could have 3 Darcy's on the list in 3-4 years time.
    Maybe the Darcys will be like the Clokes? The first 2 are ok but the youngest turns out to be the best!

        Bergman suffers from the "plays outside of vic" curse, so he's not talked about as much as he should be.
        No such thing. Its called 'doesn't play for one of the big clubs' curse.

          I actually agree with yourself and Happy in that I don't think we should pay him what he's going to get elsewhere, but he's a gun. Bailey Williams is a solid comparison (i think he's a gun too). I see him as a defend first type HB, which is why he may not be as flashy or influential as other half backs but he still stacks up comparatively with intercept marks, metres gained and tackles with Ed when he was a full time HB at the same age.

          If he nominates us, we take him. He's be an instant upgrade on Bramble and Cleary but yeah I think for the price that he'll likely fetch we're better off offering that to Butters (if that's even an option).
          Yeh I see him as a better version of Cleary. More defensive players who can be trusted to win or nullify a 1v1 can only be a good thing.

          Agree that the cost (trade and salary) could be prohibitive, but he would absolutely be a best 22 upgrade for us.

            Bont is 29. Treloar is 32. Libba is 32.

            It makes sense. Another A Grader to plan for the future is required.
            100%. Huge win for us both short and long term. Imagine Butters with Bont, Libba, Kennedy, Treloar, Richards, Freijah, Sanders - who needs defenders. The ball will hardly make it down there. Once Libba and Treloar retire in 2 to 3 years we have a ready made midfield for another 10 years (Bont hopefully another 5 to 6 years).

            happy to give up whatever is needed to get Butters. He is rolled gold material.

              Pitty we can no longer fantasise about trading Marra to Port for Butters

                We can use the Hurley money to get it done.
                Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

                  You could see Geelong coming from nowhere to nab Butters at the last min when Rowell re-signs
                  I will never see #16 the same!!

                    Geelong are after Worpel.

                      They are welcome. Butters to the Dogs then.

                        Butters will stay at Port

                          If Sam Darcy is "ok" I'm actually a bit scared of what the 3rd and best will be like.
