Collingwoods back line was missing Murphy and Frampton. We had to push Frampton forward to cover Cox. I think Frampton would have been the perfect match up for Darcy. BTW Darcy will be a star.
...5 of their 10 best players out got the job done after a very shaky first quarter.
This off the back of losing two players to injury by half time.
May have been some VFL players out there, but young SamDarcy is less than 20 games into his career too.
Who was missing from Collingwood’s...
If Bont couldn't win the RS ahead of Lewy Taylor (who??) but is easily the best player in the comp now, then I am quite at peace with SamDarcy not winning it either.
PS - the whole RS is BS anyway.
Grubs.
The thing they’re missing is that the force of the impact doesn’t always equate to the outcome. A bloke with a history of concussion is more susceptible to any hit. If Darcy had of hit Murphy with the same force a concussion would have resulted. It’s also a weird quirk in the mro...
This is a game where the Aints have been screwed. Can't get a htb, Wilson should of had three already but not rewarded once.
Wilson fully deserves the RS, has had a consistently good season.
Given SamDarcy's suspension, if Reid gets suspended, this would be the most Bradbury Rising Star ever.
Not one young gun this season has looked close to those two.
Also * St Kilda. Needing umpires to get over the line against an young and injury hit Eagles. Forever a poverty club
On the Bulldogs Board, a Melbourne fan stated “I only wish Darcy hit Maynard harder” and the Melbourne Board saying they should start a SamDarcy appreciation thread.
The crying demon fans should stfu from here on. F’n hypocrites.
Just praise the lord for NGA and the Father son rule. Would have hated to have seen what would have happened to JUH and Darcy’s careers if they’d have ended up at North.
I had thought about starting this thread myself. At 208cm, I can’t remember ever seeing a prospect like SamDarcy. Ever!
Assuming he fills out I can imagine him regularly doing to oppositions what Mason Cox did to Richmond during that 2018 final, except with AFL standard kicking and football...
...Mihocek - 63
Cameron Zurhaar - 63
Ben Long - 62
Ben Ainsworth - 53
SamDarcy - 47
Bailey Banfield (50% for no Ruck) - 40.5
Jake Bowey (50% for no KPD) - 36.5
Aaron...
His Dad was put in the same situation and chose loyalty. Hopefully Sam has the same sort of character.
Darcy is developing very well and probably faster than expected. Probably our best prospect on the list.
I don't mind if it's a debut, because there's usually some lovely emotions on show.
But when it's a public figure that gets his face on TV all the time, and the kid is coming up to his 20th game... just show the game.
...Frampton is an excellent key defender, a serviceable relief ruck and an appallingly-bad forward. So where did we play him? Forward! SamDarcy would not have dominated Frampton in the way he dominated Dean. That mismatch really cost us.
We’ll lose badly next week too but at least this block...
