Player Watch #27: Jack Darling

[Harris 10]

Judging by his teammates/ex teammates reaction on social media you can tell he must’ve been a very well liked and respected member of their team.

Please god let this come to fruition. Not only will it be great for us but it will be even better to see Kane in a North guernsey. He would absolutely hate it.

Eh not really. Kane is a shock jock simply engagement farming irl

 

[ferball]

Get him to 100! Seriously though Corn loves running so it’s hardly an imposition. He should be made to do something more humiliating.

Something involving rotten fruit and eggs.

I’d rather he take 3 days off for every goal over 40

 

[shimaburnsgrieg]

Subjecting his family to roo, roo, roo. Jy wont even put a guernsey on his dog

On another note, I’m looking forward to crash and bash type,chest marking that will be going on in our forward line if we go back to how we played at the start of the year. From Curtis, Darling and Zuurhar - there will be some pretty reckless and chaotic forward marking prowess that we haven’t seen before. You can add Ford to that too if he gets his shit together.

Funny you say that - I was playing around with the forward 6 and including Chom in there (he may well start back) but a 6 of

hf - Zurhaar Chom Wardlaw
f - Curtis Larkey Darling

would be one hell of a tackling machine. All bar Larkey go hard on the tackle and would have defenders looking over their shoulder.

Whether they can kick enough goals is another matter but as you say it would get pretty chaotic in there with that 6 up front.

 

[Hatchy1992]

I was already in Jack's corner, but that's made me love him more already.

 

[Danni_Benson]

That’s a bit cute!!!

Can’t wait for him to hit the training track!

Better to achieve it and not acknowledge him.

I like the idea of Wardlaw spending time up forward. The ball would not come back out

 

[marklovesbeer]

I have really warmed to this. Bring on the crash & ****en bash. He’s a Shinboner now. This could be great for the players & might be a bit fun on the way too. Let’s back him in!

That goes against human instinct, though. There'll always be people outraged by a Cornes take, and he knows it. Pretty smart, really

Zurhaar otherwise known as the Bull for some strange reason does not tackle

Strange they he’s top 20 in the COMP for ave tackles inside 50.

 

[shinboner magic]

If Tex Walker can kick 76 goals and Tom Hawkins can kick 67 goals post-32 years of age, then I wouldn't put it past Jack Darling to kick 50.

If Darling does kick 50, Kane Cornes is running 30km lol.

Its the last round and Jack has kicked 33 - we’re playing the crows who can’t make the finals , their dislike for Korn lets darling kick 12

Derm on radio this morning saying what a good pick up it is for North. Says it will unlock Zurhaar, who has been forced to play a structured role, when he is far more suited to chaos.

Not the Wardlaw thread, but i'm big on this. We need to find a way to get George to 85% game time and spending some minutes forward could help with that.
His pressure forward would give us a diifferent look for bursts throughout the game.

OMG. Dermy is inside my brain. How dare he steal my ideas. Unfortunately, Kingy doesn’t share the enthusiasm. Time will tell, I suppose. That said, time hasn’t been telling many good stories for us over the last 10 years…

Been given Blake Drury's #41.

Extra awkward because Blake hasn't been delisted.

I call BS, if Dermie said anything like that it would have taken at least eight paragraphs.

You're not wrong.

When SMaturin was drunk and came up with this masterpiece I have saved it since.

Hi. I'm Dermott Brereton. Owing to the obtuse, SPHERICAL perimeters of the game play, and the fact that, BECAUSE of that, we're unable to overlap the dynamics of the direct paternship of the defensive structure, we're not GOING to generate a great deal of success with our more offensive minded overtures, so therefor, on summary, is in FACT the because of why I'm currently more suited to a generalistic type role located centrally on the bench structure, as juxtaposed to something more directly concerned with actually touching the footy in a purely physical sense.

 

[Arthur Cloke]

I dunno about you guys but I'm dreading the start of the 2025 AFL season. I'm thoroughly enjoying my weekends without the total head-**** that comes with watching NMFC games.

But can't wait to see Jack wearing the BIG NUMBER 5 on his back go bananas next year in the blue & white. Kanga, Kanga, Kanga.....

On face value he also seems to be pretty locked into helping North's forward line. Obviously he has to say all of the right thing's but he does appear to be pretty committed.
