Recommitted Jack Darling [OOC 2025]

[Makeshift Park]

What's the deal - is this just dumb trade radio fodder or does the proposal actually have legs?

The West has picked up the story now too.

could be on the trade table as part of a deal with North Melbourne to split the coveted No.1 pick.

West Coast’s biggest decision heading into the trade period is whether or not they would stick or split their first selection and essentially give up Harley Reid.

Darling in Roos sights in potential pick No.1 trade

It isn’t called the silly season for nothing as whispers filter through that North Melbourne could be interested in Jack Darling as part of a mega trade to get their hands on No.1 pick.

Contracted on good money for 2 years still and doesn't want to leave WA. Not sure how its actually supposed to get done if he doesnt even want to go

Freo will need a new forward soon

 

[HairyO]

How does a 31 year old still have 2 more years contract ?

The hell is wrong with all the clubs these days giving out such stupid contracts. Let them go if they demand stupid terms.

Spot on, appalling list management, Eagles are where they are as they thought they were still in premiership contention after flagging in 18. Loaded up , went all in with their chips. House said no cigar

 

[waynopie]

Not sure a pies supporter can bag another clubs list management.

Look at our mob in recent times. Jesus.

‘Cough’ - Grundy.
‘Cough’ - beams.

Etc etc

 

[Carbine Chaos]

The West Australian is absolute garbage.

Can't imagine Darling being interested in going anywhere.

 

[Ry009]

Embarassing that went to print really. Can't see the Eagles getting offside a 250+ game premiership player who is 31, nothing left in the tank, still on good coin for a few more years- and most importantly - doesn't want to leave Perth.

Zero chance they would play that out in the media if they wanted a salary dump or wanted him off the list.

Can't seem them being campaigners like Hawks were with Tom Mitchell.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Weird article. Darling isn’t interested, west coast aren’t interested, we aren’t interested and his value is fairly minimal.

These usually come as a result of having to match (or come close to) a bigger offer from another club. If you let every player walk who gets an offer like that, you’d never have any chance of winning a flag. West Coasts problems don’t stem from having their second highest scoring player on a multi year contract in his 30s

 

[tiger_tough]

Dees ask the question surely?

Correct. Zero chance the Eagles play this out in the media without the player agreeeing.

Whats the point?

If he goes anywhere it should be Freo. He would prefer to stay in Perrh. Freo still looking for tall forwards and could actually challenge if they got their sh!t together and balance their best 22.

Media see.........

And they report.......

 

[Tugga27]

More bullshit from The West.

 

[Taylor]

That's the one I expected. Melbourne have been trying to buy a ready to go key forward option.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

TheWest just finds new ways to sink lower every weekend

Yep, Billy Bigbollocks rings up trade radio and next minute, The West run it as a headline.

Think I used to prefer The Truth newspaper.

Yes but they need a ready to go key forward option. Darling is done.

 

[The Nostradamus]

He’s done well to be contracted for another 2 years

Is it on big coin?
