Re: Player Contract Status
Darcy continues red, white and blue legacy
Sam Darcy will continue to call VU Whitten Oval home for the next two years.
The emerging youngster and third generation Bulldog inked a contract extension this week, keeping him in the red, white and blue until at least the end of 2025.
Darcy made his senior debut in round 21 last season, showcasing plenty of skill and versatility during the latter part of the Bulldogs campaign.
With an ability to play at either end of the ground and even rotate through the ruck, the 208cm tall is a valuable asset to the Dogs’ future.
Darcy said he couldn’t be happier to remain a Bulldog.
“My immediate feeling is I am just super excited to sign with the Club, I can’t wait to see what the future holds,” Darcy said
“It’s pretty special having rich family history with Dad and Grandpa playing here. I’m really proud to follow in their footsteps and represent the Dogs.”
“It was awesome to get a taste of senior football in my first year, particularly with that final, I was definitely pinching myself with the crowd and atmosphere.”
“Everyone at the club has been amazing from the coaching staff through to all the players, allowing me to be the best player I can be and help the team succeed wherever I can.”
Bulldogs General Manager of List and Recruiting, Sam Power, said it was pleasing to secure Darcy’s signature.
“Sam has been a fantastic addition to our football club over the past 12 months and we couldn’t be happier to retain him for two more seasons.” Power said.
“His versatility, courage in the air and ability to compete have been key attributes in the beginning of his football journey, showing the capabilities Sam has at either end of the ground.”
“Sam has a real hunger to learn and get the best out of himself, making him a popular member of the playing group, while his passion for the red, white and blue is evident given his strong family ties to the club.”
“While Sam still has so much growth and development in his game, our fans and members should be excited about what he can deliver in the future.”

Re: Player Contract Status
Yes, but it's more of a historical criticism than a current one.
Prior to Darcy our only real effort to find someone was Sweet, a player we have consistently been reluctant at best to actually use at any stage of his career. Clearly we don't see it as a concern, especially with Darcy on the list now, but the way we have drafted/not drafted for the position has shown that the only meaningful way we have gotten a prospect on our list aside from Sweet has been through Darcy falling in our laps. We haven't even thrown our hat in the ring for any trade options of value maybe ever in Bevo's tenure, Trengrove may be the exception but I thought he was recruited to be not a ruck.
Anyway I don't think it's a huge issue currently, but I also think we have shown that we are thoroughly uninterested in recruiting for that position.I should leave it alone but you're not rightComment
