Hope has better knees. Hopefully his mum has excellent knees.

When I was writing that post I was thinking "I hope he has better luck with his knees though"

Could you imagine the furore if we also could lay claim to Mitch Georgiades!

Champs were due to start yesterday with Metro taking on the Allies team. That was postponed due to Covid travel restrictions so an U19 Challenge match is being played today between Metro & Country at 12pm.

Darcy and Raak are playing for Metro and it will be live streamed via the AFL website.

I've never seen a kid who reminds me of his dad as Sam Darcy. He platys so much like Luke.

There was certainly no mix up at the hospital with Tom Liberatore

Not much to write about at quarter time.

Re: Future Priority Access Thread (Inc. Father/Son, Academy Players)

Great start. Darcy contested mark and goal to start Q2.

Re: Future Priority Access Thread (Inc. Father/Son, Academy Players)

Raak is terrific with ball in hand. Good user and good size.

Metro pulling away

Re: Future Priority Access Thread (Inc. Father/Son, Academy Players)

Pretty average game to half time.

Re: Future Priority Access Thread (Inc. Father/Son, Academy Players)

Great contested park mark and goal by Darcy to start Q3.

Re: Future Priority Access Thread (Inc. Father/Son, Academy Players)

Uninspiring game, Metro by 10 goals:

Darcy 2 Goals with poor I50’s to him. Good marks, good finishes and rucked I50.
Raak was solid with most play not in his D50. A lot of sloppy use by most highlighted his great disposal. Works hard too.

Still think Darcy will end up a key defender for us.

Could very much be. An example. In 2013, Harris Andrews was the leading goal kicker in the NEAFL under 18 competition, with 80 goals in 17 games. Now one of the best full backs in the AFL. I heard one of the commentators say Darcy reminds him of Andrews.

Reminds me a lot of Andrews.

Daicos clearly number 1

I think the commentator was Shifter.
