That was just great to see. Announced himself as a shinboner in the best possible way.

W80 vibes.

How we feel about Darling now is probably exactly how West Coast felt about Petrie in 2017. Darling will be 33 this year and Petrie was almost 35 when he went to West Coast in 2017. Dish only played the 1 season but he was arguably a better player at the Eagles compared to his last couple of seasons with us. Hopefully Darling remains equally as reinvigorated and still has another 2-3 years left in him.

Wasted doing Ruckwork all over the ground, sure, he is competent enough to be a better option than Larkey in F50, but you have to make the best use of your asset's, and he is 1000% more valuable as a forward imo.

Who rucks then ? Comben? He’s made of glass. Larkey? He’s our Ferrari.

Literally our only option unless griff Logue slogs it out

JD - bloody LEGEND
Cheering hard for the Roos this week.

In terms of influence, I think that Darling has been North’s best traded recruit of the last twenty years.

Sure Higgins was AA, but in terms of the way he has transformed our forward line through selfless and defensive feats, releasing and protecting Larkey, to the way his inclusion has unlocked PC and Zurhaar, he has been utterly brilliant.
