Recommitted Jack Darling

Pick 6 for darling surely taking the piss

Fine by me if we keep him.

Most teams struggle to have their main forward consistently kick 40 a season, let alone do it as the secondary forward like Darling does.

He would only attract a top ten(ish) pick from a club if he was considered their prime forward.

How many side in the comp would he qualify as the prime forward?

Adelaide - No (wouldn't get a game)
Brisbane - Probably not
Carlton - Yes
Collingwood - Probably not
Essendon - No
Fremantle - Yes
Geelong - No
Gold Coast - No
GWS - No (wouldn't get a game)
Hawthorn - No
Melbourne - No
North - No
Port - No
Richmond - No, but need another marking forward.
StKilda - No
Sydney - No
Western Bulldogs - Yes
West Coast - No

Carlton pick 1-2 (won't happen), Freo pick 5 (I doubt it), Bulldogs pick 12 (This is your potential hit!), Richmond pick 15-16(This is your potential hit!)

Broken 40 goals once in his career? Where are you getting your stats from because they are incorrect.

Excuse me, I hit on the wrong stats. I will edit. Again, refer to my trade data.

Jack Darling goals per year
2011: 24
2012: 53
2013: 42
2014: 39
2015: 26 (Missed half the season with foot issues)
2016: 44
2017: 36 and counting

Taking out his 2015 season which was injury hit and 2011 which was his rookie year, yes he has been consistently around the 40 goal mark. 2012 was the year Kennedy missed a lot of footy so he lead the forward line as a 19 year old and got over 50.

Bit more than just the once off you are trying to claim. 2013, 2014, 2016 he also played the secondary role to Kennedy and hit around the 40 goal mark so it's nothing to be sneezed at.

Darling's signed up until 2020, you will be waiting awhile

And he tell WC to GS if they put him on the table..won't be going anywhere IMO

We won't put darling on the table . The only way he would go would be if he asks for a trade

Shhh let people waste time speculating.

If we get pick 17 from Adelaide as part of the Lever trade, happy to give that up for Darling, surely that's enough for WCE. WCE fans tell me I'm right.

Sidebottom+Pick 6
for
Lever+Pick 17

Seems quite fair, only problem is whether Sidebottom would like to move to Adelaide.

Just watched a replay of the 2015 GF.

lol, if WCE get anything more than a half-eaten packet of Doritos for Darling they should take it and run.

I know plenty of posts on this board don't hit high intellectual levels, but this one definitely skipped aspiring to any heights and instead enthusiastically jumped into the deep end.

I find the deep end to be far more fun than shallow water.

Also, I'm always happy to be made fun of by a high-ranking member of Mensa.

I'll try and dig one up. They're all so dull though.
