All about Darcy for mine, this kid has the potential to be better than English and that's bloody exciting.

Still keen to see O'Brien in defence, he is slowly improving his positioning but I would love to see a little more desperation from him in the contest and when the ball hits the ground.

Some slack play out there at the moment.

What a disgraceful stream. Camera at ground level, so annoying

I hate what we're doing to Darcy. We're trying to make him a defender but it's quite clear he is more suited to being a forward/ ruckman. He has been quite influential in this role already from a small sample size.

It's easier to throw him back because Shache, Martin and Sweet offer less versatility but his development should take priority over accommodating them in the side.

Secondly, we're actively hunting Lobb on a 3 year contract when I will gladly argue that Darcy will be the better player within two years.

I know we desperately need a back man but why doesn't Naughton go back? Because he's a genuine match winner forward and they're extremely rare. Likewise, Darcy is a unicorn as per Bont's own words. Play him forward.

Defintely a forward I'll spew if he plays back.

We have been awful so far, extremely slack. Darcy has started badly in defence and is too tall for any of their forwards.

He has the height to play back.

Darcy will get smashed in defence at AFL level, I actually think it's a harder role for him to start in than forward/ruck.

Hunter is playing himself out of the team entirely.

For someone who has pace, Vandermeer finds it hard to get space and gets tackled a lot.

I agree with others recent sentiments that it might be time to try him in the backline. He just needs a different look at the game and he was originally drafted in that role.

Big Stef has been giving his ruck opponents a bath.
