Re: Sam Darley
No way. The best part of Tassie is the TRC Hotel in Launceston. Stayed there for 2 nights in 2008 on the weekend we beat the Hawks down there, and apart from the footy at York Park, there wasn't a reason to leave the place. $40 per room per night and the best Boags beer on tap anywhere.Comment

Re: Sam Darley
So another young kid with a lot of upside joins us.
Seems to have escaped any sort of media attention this kid as far as career is concerned.
Not many people even knew of him including me, I thought it was a mistype about Docherty at firstBring back the biffComment

Re: Sam Darley
Going by his limited highlights reel, looks like a neat player who looks to be able to read the play pretty well, may be a chance to sneak in a few games in 2014 given he's 20 and played a dozen or so games, perhaps he and Pearce could be fighting for the same spot down back.Comment

Re: Sam Darley
I think after a strong preseason he might be more likely to be fighting it out with JJ for a spot in the 22.
Don't know enough about GWS's list to this point to know how stiff the competition was for spots in the defensive six, so can't comment on why he may not have played more games.TF is this?.........Obviously you're not a golfer.Comment

Re: Sam Darley
I think at least part of it was due to the Dubs needing to play really defensively out of their back 6, meaning Sam wasn't afforded the opportunity to play to his strengths. When their initial 22 was being established the talk was that he was overlooked for Tom Bugg for this reason.- I'm a visionary - Only here to confirm my biases -Comment

Re: Sam Darley
I think he looks promising from his highlights reel. Moves well and uses the ball quite well. Think he's renowned as a good kick so we may have something to work with here.
Seems like a level headed guy from his tweets too. There's a real feel that BMac just won't go near dickheads so I'm confident we've unearthed another good player for next to nothing.Comment

Re: Sam Darley
GWS has amassed so much elite talent, and so much of it outside the actual draft.
(makes you wonder how diluted all recent drafts have REALLY been)
Zone access, 17yo access etc etc.
There must be so many talented kids in that squad who are 3rd or 4th in line for their spot, and just ripe for the picking for someone with a good eye (Bmac for example).
Reading Darley's junior bio, it sounds like we've just stolen the next Haydn Bunton!
It's not beyond the realms of possibility that some of the fruit falling out of the GWS tree, may actually be sweeter than the fruit 'bought from the shop'.
And he sure reminds me of Nick Dal Santo. ALOT.........Comment

Re: Sam Darley
The way he moves and drops the ball onto boot is certainly very Dal Santo like.Comment
