Dominating SANFL - didn't kick a goal or be named in the best players once in the 4 Colts games & 1 Reserves at SANFL level in 2017, that I can find. Youtube videos can be highly misleading. You also quoted he was ámongst the best players in the Academy Game v Northern Blues. Was not named in the best for that game either as I posted. Context is not relevant if what is being stated is incorrect. Unfortunately 2017 has been poor for Darcy including early form as correctly pointed out by Cotter. There is likely to be reasons for this I hope he can return to his best form - that of 2016.
I also took the opportunity to compare his Victorian namesake (that many get confused with), and how some of those that have been consistent during 2017 due to attributes can be overlooked for the more flashy types earlier in the draft.
I understand that the draft board tends to be your baby, but if I disagree with what has been posted & can show that to be the case especially to support someone that has taken time provide a different perspective (Cotter in this case) then I am not sure what the issue is.
I look forward to the Lions taking Sam Walsh over Isaac Rankine in 2018, as he is clearly the better all round footballer (& maybe just to see your reaction)
