Wonder if Daicos will develop a spine as he matures. It would be good to see him put his body on the line the odd time.

He wasn't old but I thought Darren Glass was a spud early on at West Coast. Ended up a club champion and the best full back in the comp. All Australian 3 or 4 times.

Might as well add Jeremy McGovern going by similar posts.

Started on the eagles rookie list. Slowly developed to a decent player.

I would classify him as a late bloomer.

I could add more

Not sure if he broke his leg in his first season when he was on fire.

Yeah he did. I remember the exact game too.

Round 14 vs Port Adelaide in Subiaco oval.

When Barlow broke his leg it took the sting out of the game.

Crowd felt like the wind was taken out of their sails too

I agree. Was going to name him. Maybe Erick McKenzie too.

Michael Tuck played 50 odd games in the Reserves until he got a chance in the 1sts

Josh Kenneddy took a while to get going. The Eagles.
