I rate Yeo REALLY highly. But all year I still think he has been underutilized. Needs to be playing in the mid or on a wing.
Is Darling our best player.

I'm not sure where people get the idea that Darling is captain material.

Darling needs to get some media training.

I love Darling
Can't believe he's only 21 still
Part of me wants to wrap him in cotton wool and protect him so he doesn't go the way of some of our injury prone stars.
Agree that LeCras/NN/JK are all candidates for our best players too. LeCras still has a subtle selfish streak to him which I don't really like (even if I like him otherwise as a player ) , I'm a massive fan of NN , don't get me wrong , but am worried about the impact his serial injuries will have on him (same comment could've been made of LeCras prior to this season and Kennedy in recent seasons , though I think they had better luck at NN's age), and I really like JK too, even if JD is my true love

NN will get over his injuries.
He will be monstering other rucks in a couple of years when he reaches his prime.

He is our best player by a long way. In fact he is the only player in our side that would be a walk up start in any other side including Hawthorn and Geelong.
Maybe we should have taken the first 5 picks Sheedy offered us from GWS last year for Natanui?
EMac
LeCras
Hurn
Shuey
NN
JK
all walk up starts in any side.
Glass should play on. He's good enough and much like Boomer Harvey he hasn't lost his pace. I don't believe he should retire at all. Our backline looks better with him in it.
Love what he does, but he's run himself into trouble a few times when he should have given it off earlier. Ideally with Bennell, Hurn, Ellis, Emac, Glass, Brown etc in our back half we release him to the midfield and wing. He is a big strong and more importantly AGGRESSIVE body. He looks for the body contact and that's what we need.

If Shuey's a walk-up start, so are Masten and Wellingham, and based on this year's form, even Rosa! (ie I'm questioning that Shuey belongs in the same group as the rest at this stage)

Form wise, YES. However Shuey isn't that far off what he has shown he can produce. He missed a few shots on goal he would gobble up at his best. He also showed us in one passage against Port why he is (or in theory should be) better than the others. I'm talking about the take he had in the centre circle where he got it cleanly and shrugged the port player off with his explosiveness and hit Darling (could have been JK) lace out with a 45m bullet. In a game where our mids struggled to break free and get clean possession it really stood out.
Also think about a player like Shuey in a midfield like Collingwoods for example. Imagine the offensive damage he would do if surrounded by other high calibre midfielders.

Yes that was a good passage, but if we're talking about what players can produce, then I think Masten has produced at least as much at peak, if not more (and has been more consistent). I had high hopes for Shuey after that year when he was robbed of the rising star, but he hasn't since matched that consistency (even if he has matched the peak at times). I agree that him and Masten are ahead of Selwood /Wellingham in terms of being the best hopes of turning into an elite mid from that age bracket, Gaff is a little younger than that group and deserves more time. I don't think any of our mids are a walk-up start to all clubs unfortunately
All sorts of people can make great captains. Couldn't care less that he might not be the sharpest or the best with dealing with media. Care that he is the kind of guy that on the footy field goes at it head on and is the kind of guy that every other player would follow to hell and back.
for all his impressive efforts vs port, darling made a couple of idiotic decisions to play on in the last quarter which cost us dearly.
still doesn't convert enough opportunities into goals given the talent he has.

Agree otherwise
If Brown keeps up the one-percenters he'll get out of the doghouse with fans very soon. Has impressed this year.

Yeah truth hurts doesn't itI cant find a dislike button.
I agree Darling is a gun but this is a really weird article. Seems like something a high school student would write - very amateurish.
