Toast Jack Darling- 100 games

[jesterwester]

I am sorry to steal this off his sponsor, but the king is set to notch up game 100 this weekend against the dogs.

Fantastic achievement to knock this up in just his 5th year. Still only 23, hopefully we get another 10 years out of him. Not a bad #26 pick.

178 goals from 99 games puts him at #11 in our goal kicking tally, well on track to get into the top 10 next year as he needs 28 more to overtake cousins. (well he could get their this year, but he'd need to get a move on)

Some of his best work can be seen below.

No you're not.

Congrats JD on your first century. Stood up from such a young age when we lost JK. I look forward to another couple of centuries from you!

 

[Adzam]

All hail king darling. here's to another 100 and hopefully more

 

[SpaceClef]

Was absolutely huge on the weekend and contributed in a big way to our first quarter dominance. I thought it was his best game this year.

Damn that 2010 draft was exactly what we needed. A bit like the 2014 one...

 

[EagleEgo]

We need to win six games in a row from now.
We shall start with a big win to celebrate.

My God the peril is beautiful.

Well done Jack on the 100 games

I remember seeing Darling's 1st game for WP kicking 6 goals and at that stage he was still the No .1 pick and thought we were no chance to get him .

 

[Prem87]

Darling what a gun!

His first year highlights are still some of the best I've ever seen.

Still a 3-4 years of his peak, and he has a few more levels he can go. Finals footy will bring out the beast and best in him!

Premiership forward and Norm Smith Medallist in the making!

 

[jesterwester]

No you're not.

A token apology, sure, but sincere. I just wanted to post some form of congratulations, and I am too impatient to wait for a thread later in the week, and too lazy to look through the sponsors thread to see who it was.

Now in responding to that, I dropped my iphone and smashed it, so maybe some karma there. :S

Ninja flips aside, his chase against Port in his second ever game will always be my memory of the king.

 

[paran]

Congratulations Darling! Keep on pumping!

Jack Darling is a gun. Possibly the greatest ever number 27 at the eagles! (By career ends. He should aspire to this)

Better than Ben McKinley the GOAT?

 

[Dark Sharks]

I still remember sneaking away at work to watch the draft in the hope we'd get him, i thought Fremantle would definitely at #20 but they chose Pitt

This is what happens when you give a talented "bad boy" a chance West Coast.

Good thing we tanked to get him. Amirite! Amirite Dwayne!

Can someone post the gif of Darling dropping Houli like a sack of shit against Richmond earlier this year. Was beautiful

Oh come on, what about his 8 goals in the 2016 gf. He was the main reason we won by 120 points.

 

[Big Cox 88]

Hopefully he pulls a 100 game ninja flip

 

[Avalor]

All hail the king! Had a real man's game against the purple poop. Need him to have another big one against the bullies.
Congrats on the 100, Jack.

This is for you Jack. Congrats on the 100 games.

 

[Bender_]

So awesome. It's beyond a fend off or a don't argue, it's like a body slam.

It's like a tackle but with the ball.

Could you get done for tackling the man without the ball if you have the ball?

I'd say he shepherded himself, whilst he had the ball...

This is for you Jack. Congrats on the 100 games.

Just a shame it wasn't Dustin Martin. That's a real fend off Dusty.
