I thought i would post some information on Darcy seeing he is not that well known having only played 8 AFL games over 3 years. Also our only trade in 2021
Hard to find any recent footage on Darcy
Be interesting to see how we use him-
(a) Backup only if Oscar goes down
(b) A two ruck combo with one resting forward at times to give us a third tall forward at times during the game. So, only a 2 tall forward structure
(c) Have a 3 tall forward line (say Payne for arguments sake) with Oscar & Fort relieving up forward when our talls are resting on bench. Balance of ruck time on bench
...
Darcy Fort traded to Brisbane Lions 2021:- Brisbane gains Darcy Fort and pick 41. Geelong gains pick 50 and Brisbane’s future third-rounder.
Darcy Fort (age 28 born 6 August 1993) is an Australian rules footballer now playing for the Brisbane Lions in the Australian Football League (AFL). A 2.04-metre ruckman who can also play as a key forward, he played in several state leagues before being drafted by Geelong as a mature-age recruit. He made his AFL debut in round 9 of the 2019 season
Fort was drafted by Geelong with pick 65 in the 2018 national draft, quitting his job as a civil engineer to play for the club.
