    That's how I've read it, too.

    I caught brief patches of the first half - was great to see him kick a goal and had applied about 4/5 tackles in the opening quarter. Hope he continues to go well.
    Have you heard Butters wants to come to the Dogs?

      Should we have rookied him instead of Adcock? Both about the same size, but did we need an experienced player right now?

        GCS took Darcy two picks or so before us. Could we have made a nomination? Possibly, but another small player on our list wouldn't have made sense. Just the wrong time for us. Maybe they can package he and Jaeger together for a trade to us later this year?

          No, we needed an experienced player.

            Not really the same size: 183cm & 84kgs v 174cm & 72kgs. Also completely different players.

            I think the decision would have been more so trading a Honeychurch or Hrovat if we thought Darcy was a better prospect than them.

              Darcy just did his knee against the Crows. They are saying medial. Horrible luck.

                Poor kid, with their injury list now was his time.
