Player Watch Darcy Fogarty - Re-Signed to End of 2031

[Cap]

ROB in is a huge win.

I was getting worried that they might need to drop him

Odds on him being a late out?

 

[FR0GGY]

Fog must be excited to get a 1 game crack at it.

 

[Elite Crow]

Oh right, and it was strictly necessary on every other occasion including when we played them the first time.

The first time they were even missing Marshall

 

[FR0GGY]

The whole second ruck thing is rubbish, ROB plays all but about 3mins a qtr.

 

[Crow till I die]

Really glad fog is in. I'll be backing him to the hilt this weekend and fingers crossed he can get a bit of it and maybe grab a goal or 2 and scare a few saints in the process

 

[King Elvis]

Wasted a year of development, desperately giving him a game now won’t change that.

****ing muppets.

 

[John Who]

Can’t wait to see what mongrel the Fog will bring this weekend. I hope he gets decent deliveries from the midfield though!

******* muppets.

The best we can get out of the rest of the year is making sure this kid gets a final under his belt.

We'd be a lot better off if we was coming into that with about 32 games, rather than at least 14 of course.

The most frustrating thing is that this was all obvious in pre-season, though perhaps not to everyone. The Fogarty or Jenkins debate ran strong on here, and the points were obviousy. Fogarty should be prioritised over non-elite seniors, and we went through all of the various ridiculous claims: Jenkins is elite, to you don't weaken the team in premiership contention mode, to he's too small, to finally 'he needs to show form', and even 'he's just too slow and not good enough'.

All of that to defend something that was obviously wrong, and look at how it's played out: a team not contending, Jenkins dropped twice in the season, and an entire season of potential development wasted.

You can see why the club thinks it can feed us the same old shit sandwich and we'll chew it up, cant you?

“Obviously wrong”? Were you thinking this when 4 weeks ago after the bye we were sitting 4th spot?
And what if playing Fog all year landed us bottom 4, how do you feel about that?

The guy is a gun, everyone seems to be in agreement. Hope he gets a few games this year and trains the house down in the forthcoming preseason. Then I’m sure we’re all looking forward to him being a regular AFL player in 2020. Him and Doedee back in 2020 is making my mouth water.

[Betts are off]

DFOG DFOG DFOG DFOG!!!!!

Let's not forget the strict adherence to the "we MUST have a second ruck for three minutes a quarter regardless of how useless as a ruckman he is".

Took us until Round 20 to realise we don't. Round 20.

Hope he gets decent service, which has been a problem all year.. Feel like he’s being setup to fail a bit..
As long as he shows some aggression and fight I’ll be happy

That’s going to be the issue, our service has been garbage. If we have another 11 inside 50s for a half I hope we chuck him in the middle for the centre clearances and lay a few of their players out.

The balls in his court. If he kicks at least 7 he stays. Kick 6 and it's back to the sanfl for you buddy.

If he plays deep and Tex plays up a bit hopefully Tex to Fog becomes a thing !

Narrator: he won't

 

[Scorpus]

Hawthorn have backed in some no name late draft pick key forward and he's absolutely flourishing now

If only we did that with our FIRST ROUND pick

Rate Mitch Lewis, very aggressive and kicks well.

I know they play a different role and it's good for Berg, but IF Fog plays the remaining games he still won't have played as many this year as Big Ezy

Go look at the Bulldogs with Aaron Naughton. Taken in the same draft 3 picks earlier, already played 36 games. Fog now getting game 11. Essentially is a year ahead of Fog despite being the same age.
