Not sure whether there is a love thread for Darcy, but I am liking what I see. Good decision making, clutch goals and lots of little one percenters. He is definitely a keeper.

Keep pumping games into KD I say. We'll have a very good player by 100 games.
Unlike KD...I like the way that he constantly craves the ball.

I'm not convinced by the year he is having. Seems to pop up in last quarters. I don't think his forward line pressure is enough to stay in the side.
Good post. Different for once.
I agree, underwhelming but at the same time, giving us glimpses of what may/will be coming.
Unfortunately, he received a lot of praise over the summer and was talked up a little unfairly and those expectations aren't quite being met.
I think by this same time next year he will be a pretty impressive player. Be up at around 50 games by then.
Him and Mr. G have both been down a little this year. But heck they are 19 and have shown enough in patches IMO to warrant continued selection. When you're in the same side as Dangerfield et al it's gonna take a bit to stand out.
I keep seeing Smithy parallels with Lang.
Hard, great running and tackling, good vision and hands, better disposal by foot and goal sense. Did I mention hard at it.
Defensive efforts are great with him IMO.
He's got along way to go to become 1/2 of what Smithy was, but the tools are there.
And he's only 21. It took Corey a lot longer to become that player he was, and if Darcy keep his progression going by 23 he could be anything.

Corey is bigger, stronger, better inside and IMO had a much higher ceiling than Lang has. Lang can be a player but it won't ever be similar to Joel Corey IMO. I don't think he's a particularly good tackler and quite frankly I don't think he's hard at it.
If you comparing Smithy in 2007 - 2011 - then yes. Not sure 2011 version of Smithy in size and strength is a fair comparison to 21 yo Lang - but I also was not specific in my post either so all's fair.
A younger version I think the parallels are there. And I hope that you are wrong down the track for no other reason than if you are wrong, it means the GFC has ended up with on hell of a player.

Not underestimating Smithy's size - but Lang I thought for some reason was bigger....Joel Corey 191cm 89kgs
Darcy Lang 183cm 77kgs
I think you underestimate how big Corey is. He started off skinny but his frame could hold a lot more weight than Lang's IMO. To be honest I think Stokes is a closer comparison.
James Kelly is 184cm maybe you can use himNot underestimating Smithy's size - but Lang I thought for some reason was bigger....
