Re: Sam Darcy:- Welcome to the Western Bulldogs

Do you know your left from right?

I know Matt did. Left is the foot you kick on and Right is the foot you must never kick on.

Article on him on the AFL site

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

Suckling only had a right foot to stop him toppling over.

Re: Sam Darcy:- Welcome to the Western Bulldogs

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.

Re: Sam Darcy:- Welcome to the Western Bulldogs

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.

Re: Sam Darcy:- Welcome to the Western Bulldogs

Actually, wait…

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

In those conditions….

Re: Sam Darcy:- Welcome to the Western Bulldogs

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

Re: Sam Darcy:- Welcome to the Western Bulldogs

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

Legit already is a better player than Daniher.

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.
