Might be a good thing you're not a list manager then
Not really, just seems an absurd position to take and smacks of people who know very little about RT.
How can you say there is a decent gap between Darcy and RT, just nonsense.
Enjoy him on the weekend

Was just a little joke mate. This thread reeks of insecurity.

Thilthorpe is a gun but he only played 7 matches last year and hasn't kicked over 3 goals this year or last. Darcy is also a year younger and a physical anomaly which makes him harder to match up on, anyway they both have sky high potentialHow can you say there is a decent gap between Darcy and RT, just nonsense.
Enjoy him on the weekend

Again as per my post. If there was a draft right now or Tassie could pick a young KPF to draft it would be Sam Darcy. Read this thread for non Crows fans opinions.Thilthorpe absolutely is in the same discussion as Darcy.
He's ahead in goals for starters & plays more in ruck.
Think both will be multiple All Australians.
Thilthorpe is great always rated him but Darcy could be a generational player

A bigger deal out west.
No. More a Nick Riedwoldt or Jeremy Cameron type. The highly skilled endurance freak who play that classic CHF role and can do everything to a very good level at minimum (and providing to be very consistent in this run since returning from injury). Whilst Thilthorpe is a good contested mark, it's probably the weakest aspect of his game.
It is interesting you mention Tippett, because Darcy is the second coming of Kurt Tippett style wise. Same kind of freakish ability in a contested marking situation, and as similarly skilled. Tippett was as special of a talent as they come (lets be real, there was a damn good reason why we tried to cheat the salary cap to keep him), however, he just couldn't stay healthy for long enough at Sydney to really capitalise on his ability, plus Sydney recruited some spud from Hawthorn named Franklin.

He contends with Walker and Fogarty in the forward line, they will always take goals off each other.
I think it’s just a lazy thing commentators say about players from interstate clubs now. It would’ve had merit some time ago but football is so much more accessible now. It’s just become part of the lexicon and a way to say X player for an interstate club is very good.
Darcy contends with Naughton and previously Naughton, JUH and Weightman...
Excellent.

Am talking Thilthorpe first, anyone saying there’s a big gap between him and Darcy haven’t seen him play.

Because almost all people on here from other supporter based clubs are saying Sam, it's mainly Crows supporters saying Riley

Don't say the quiet part out loud.
Geelong will take him for unders and turn him into a star.

Exactly. Darcy looks as good as everyone is saying, but Thilthrope is incredibly underrated by many. Opposition fans will figure it out soon enough.
If I were picking a GF team tomorrow, it'd probably be... ... Darcy by the skin of his teeth. If I were picking a list for a 2029 flag, though, it's Darcy by the length of the Flemington.
Best young key forward the game has seen since Nick Riewoldt IMO.

Thilthorpe is very, very good. But Darcy is a freak.

Correcto. His left foot kicking the other day for a 207cm player (who can mark) was ridiculous.
Should be the first $2m p.a player.

The other thing people haven’t completely considered. There was a period where was played fairly consistently down back because we had Jamarra and Naughton up forward, and he did that very well too.
Just a freak.
Just a freak.
He won't, because he won't move clubs. Players who move clubs (or threaten to move clubs) are the ones who get the most money, for obvious reasons.
Rural Vic boy, you say?Don't say the quiet part out loud.
