An underwhelming small forward. Not so happy about this move, as Davey produced nothing at the Drug Cheats.
More interested in how Walley goes: he's taller, younger and appears tougher.

Probably not our greatest need either in that dept but perhaps a common thread between seniors & VFL up forward.

Really like this part of the article -

“We’ve been really targeted with the profile of players we’ve gone after this off-season, and Darcy is just the start. We’re really excited about how 2026 is shaping up and we see Darcy playing a pivotal role for us going forward.”

An excellent list of resignings. Phillips, Paea, Riley and Harvey give us some great tall depth given that we are a little short in that area on the main list. Should allow a balanced team to run out each week. A solid, experienced inside mid would be very welcome, hopefully we can sign one.

Between Lord, Moir, Ben Campo, and Ison, I'd say we're covered there.

Expect Lord & Moir in the 1’s.
Ison being touted as a forward by the club, so will be interesting what his grounding is.
Campo will be in there but we’re short on actual midfielders IMO
Reckon the likes of Fogarty will be in there & OH if he’s down in the VFL.

 

[Coona Blues]

Between Lord, Moir, Ben Campo, and Ison, I'd say we're covered there.

Ben is the only one who will be in the reserves’ engine room on a regular basis, and he will be in line for senior time if vacancies arise. Ison has stated that the plan is for him to start forward.
