He took a contested mark late in the game when we were 51 points up...it was up against ...wait for it - Stringer AND Langford
I was flabbergasted. Ronnie was deep on the last line and he kicked a dump kick to around about the 50m line. Darcy got a good sit on Jake and Langford was waiting flat-footed...thinking Stringer would easily outmark Darcy
Some very lazy efforts from a few Essendon players yesterday.
Anyway...that game and the confidence to go for a mark like that will give Darcy a big boost
A great pick at number 18 in the draft. Fingers crossed our first pick this year turns out to be good as young Darcy. I just hope he finishes the year strongly and gives the RS award a real shake.

A slider as well. Many suggested that he was top 10’ish (around 10) and that if he made it through, there’s no way he’d get passed Adelaide who’d been watching him for years.
I was stoked first when he slid and then we choose him

Fingers crossed indeed. Toce isn't steering that ship anymore

He wasn’t a slider. It was just that all the Suns Academy and Father Sons bids happened and then came our first true pick which was from I believe a 12 to 18.

Absolutely. Everything I read had Adelaide categorically taking him with their first pick if he was there (at what was 8) and that he would have been in the conversation at every pick to go since then.
I couldn’t believe it when he fell to us
Is there a bit of ex Hawk/Cat Isaac Smith about him ?
I really like the way he goes about it.
I hope he can continue to build in his second and third years the way that Nas did.
Assuming Darcy stays on the wing , and if Nas eventually goes back to the wing, we could quite possibly have the best wing combo in the league.

Maybe move him if Byrnes can't hold down the wing position or... if we haven't got Seb or another good player to play there. If Byrnes keeps improving, then leave Nas at half back.
The look of the side might be totally different in 2-3 years time. Arie Shoemaker and hopefully James Van Es are alongside Wilkie and Dougs. We'll need to find a replacement for Webster as well
Some wanted him rested
and despise the Pies, the Blues, and the Injectors.
