Apparently was desperate to get to Essendon.

I pity you for supporting anything Cleveland

 

[matty lloyd the champ]

I actually reckon he has a beaut of a pill.

 

[eth-dog]

Not 100% on this, but here's hoping he works out.

 

[Eleven 38]

Welcome! Don't take #17

 

[Shane Hird]

Brilliant pick...Farking awesome!!!

 

[Toohey776]

I'm not complaining or anything.
But why was he desperate to come to Essendon? Wasn't he a Collingwood supporter?

Melbourne were looking at him.

Worsfold.

Was just about to say cos he was going to the Dee's otherwise.

Will be a gun.

Future midfield looking great with Zerrett/Laverder/Heppell/Parish

 

[Jade]

Giggity.

 

[YEMOC NAYR]

As some would know I've been very keen on Parish so I'm stoked he could get to our club. I really think we need to add skillful midfielders and he is just that.

Holy crap, Essendon with a good midfield, imagine that.

 

[YEMOC NAYR]

Welcome to the club Ellen!

 

[Toasta]

Rich mans Colyer.

 

[katana]

"a slightly better version of zac merrett"

I stopped reading there

on this, zac is a bit of a bull around the ball, tackles and hits bodies hard. Darcy doesn't look anywhere close to that physically.

i'd be hoping for a more damaging stanton.

 

[Rack Watts]

Reminds me of Travis Boak, more than anyone.

 

[Zach Package]

Pick 5 rarely gets described as underrated but this probably does fly a little bit under the radar, but I genuinely can't see Darcy becoming anything other than an excellent AFL footballer for a very long time

 

[yaco55]

I have no problems with his size - Seems to be an inside/outside midfielder - Looks a similar body shape to Kavanagh but appears to have more polish and a better outside game.

What relevancy does this have? Players learn not to really follow a team closely in their last 2 years before getting drafted.
