Sorry everyone kind of stuffed the copy and paste job on the article I posted up. Just edited the article and fixed it up

You can see in the photo of Darcy where his leg became infected, it looks nasty.

Not wrong about his leg

 

[ossie_21]

Sam Darcy is 23? I think this article is a bit confused.

They meant “at only 230cm”

 

[RedWhite&Blue]

Assuming Sam Darcy's height gets updated to 209cm+ was claimed during the season last year, we've got 3 of the top 10 tallest players in the league. Darcy, English and Lobb playing together would easily be the tallest trio to have taken the field together in any AFL game since the beginning of the league.

I spoke to his dad, Luke, down at Sorrento over NYE and he said Sam is 211cm

Stacks up he looks taller than Lobb/ English from the photos throughout pre season.

He’s going to be unstoppable.

I'm glad you specified it was Luke. Not sure I would have had any idea who his dad was otherwise

Oh, yes you would have, Nat...

You're just being cynical...I mean, picky...I mean sarcastic...sorry, I mean contrary...sorry, vexacious. No, I mean pedantic....

The SSP ends tomorrow which means we will have a spot open for the mid season draft

*If we don't sign anyone hasn't Poulter been training?

He’s signing for Scray but every article I’ve read says we’re not adding anyone.

Ha! ...cheeky

Here's a picture of 3 generations of Darcy's (David, Luke and Sam) for the young ones amongst us that don't know the significance of the Darcy name at the Bulldogs...

If Sam's 2 younger brothers turn out to be any good the father son rule might be under serious threat!

 

[dogwatch]

He's grown a bit.

 

[Southern 8]

Narkle? Mid depth, too talented to not be on a list, and got himself fitter according to media. Haven’t seen or heard much about how Poulter is going. Seems logical to wait until mid season though I guess.

Great photo. Love the smiling Sam … and now at 211 cm.. lol.

 

[Mr. Walker]

Just went on AFL site to see what time SSP ends today. No answer could I find. As there has been no announcement I assume it is definite that we are not taking anyone. Is this correct?

Every article I’ve seen has said we’re not taking anyone.

When was the last time we went into the season with an open list spot? I like the flexibility it brings us.

2019 when we drafted Ryan Gardner

 

[Mr. Walker]

I think you can look at it two ways.
Glass half full - it gives us opportunity to fill a position of need if one or two LTIs hit in a particular area.
Glass half empty - we have left our run too late and only have the choice of players that every other club has assessed as not good enough.

I choose to pray for no injuries.

2019 when we drafted Ryan Gardner

I don't think that's true, I believe we went into 2019 with a full list but opened up 2 spots during the year with Picken and Boyd retiring in April and May respectively. I don't believe we've gone into a season with an open spot since the SSP and midseason draft has existed.

 

[weltschmerz]

The two rookies we wanted went before our pick, and Brown went to Adelaide, so I think there's just nobody we wanted enough to commit a list spot to.

2021 we had a list spot available Sam Lloyd retired we had some kid and Anthony Scott training with the club over the preseason

Yep. My point was about having a spot going into the season (post rookie draft and SSP).

I think 2021 & 2023 are the only 2 years where the SSP has been an option for us, and 2019 & 2023 the only years where we've had a spot available to use during the midseason draft.

Probably use the pick on someone from our VFL team that’s having a good season
