Immediately! The problem with this 'scrape into finals in the last few games' strategy is we never get to blood the kids.

Give the fans something to be super excited about. And a player who is a super mark. Reckon he will be a superstar. Got a bit of controlled aggression about him that will mean he is more likely to succeed. Naughts, Marra, English and Darcy all on ground at same time. Yes please!!

Josie :)

Our day will come
And we'll have everything.
We'll share the joy
Just like '54 again.

Re: When should Darcy Debut?

I want us to think about his development first.

It's been a disappointing season and seeing him debut would be very exciting, but we got to make the call that's best long term.

Bevo seems to have managed Marra well and I am backing him in again.

Darcy is getting time playing down back, forward and in the ruck at VFL level and I think the experience will be beneficial after limited footy last year and starting VFL late.

Gives us something to watch in the VFL too

So if were to play, who does he replace?

I think he'll get a game if finals calculation go out the window.

Forward Ruck for mine. I wouldn't play him anywhere near our backline, forward in our side currently is a much softer landing.

He’s clunking them from everywhere. Got to come in

If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

I’d imagine that would be the clubs thinking provided the internal metrics are where they think they need to be to debut

Re: When should Darcy Debut?

For sure they give him a run this week. We could do with the height against Freo. Could also do with someone who can take a grab and get the ball back.

I’d be happy to use the sub at three quarter time and sub him out with Cramp.

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