Toast Feel the Byrne

[pastmyprimus]

Darcy deserves a toast. He was pretty much the one and only positive from a bleak day.

He epitomises most things you expect from a modern day defender. He's good one-one-one, tackles and runs hard (his holding the ball tackle against Stevie J. was a highlight), and is attack minded. Goals in consecutive weeks is a great return from any defender let alone a two-gamer.

You don't expect to a two game player to lead by example but that's exactly what he did yesterday.

Not unlike a young Bob Murphy so far.

DBJ is physically a bit bigger but performance is similar. Both looked comfortable from the get go.

Like what the lad is doing and the way he goes his footy, more than most of his team mates.

Bryne-Jones or Byrne-Jones?

Bryne-Jones or Byrne-Jones?

Thanks mate -fixed.

 

[Kingfish73]

Absolutely deserves a toast. He certainly can hold his head high after yesterday. Very promising start to his AFL career

 

[Pappagallo]

Last year I thought he was delist material but I was dead wrong.

He's shown great poise under pressure and actually gives a shit, putting many of his comrades to shame.

Well done DBJ!

 

[KenOath]

Probably the only positive yesterday. Some great defensive efforts and looks composed with ball in hand. If he can put a solid month together he should be able to consolidate his spot in the best 22.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Good toast, would endorse.

Had a slow start to the year but credit to DBJ he's been close to our best over the last month.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

Fantastic game today. Not many friends.

His best game for the season. I suspect that Pittard being dropped probably put a rocket up him. Good stuff.

 

[Garibaldi Red]

"You can always trust Pittard to turn it around over" said a Brisbane/Crow supporter behind me when Darce got an early F50 entry

50 consecutive games from debut without being dropped or injured I believe.

Club records:

Kane Cornes (174)
Brad Ebert (108)
Brendon Lade (106)
Justin Westhoff (100)
Matthew Broadbent (80)

Love how Darcy goes about it. Tough and skillful.

 

[raptalia]

I cannot help but think that Dan Houston is having a second year like Darcy had last year. DBJ burst onto the scene in 2016 but didn't quite live up to his debut year but has had a very good 2018. Hopefully Dan Houston can do the same.

Apologies to Elton John but, I guess that is why they call it the second year blues.

200+ gamer looking forward to watching him at ports.

 

[elsler]

Love watching Hank play hes got real mongrel in him he hates being beaten

 

[Hammer#8]

Thought he was great tonight.

Clean at ground level and good in the air.

 

[Marmozet]

One of my favourites.

Loving watching his career unfold at Port Adelaide

 

[It Just Is]

Always plays well in the big games.
