He will be an absolute beast. Wherever he plays.

Think he’ll even get games next year.

Welcome! Third Gen Doggie.

Welcome to the club Sam Darcy

 

[Dogs_r_barking]

Welcome Sam, along with your big smile, looking forward to watching you light up the ground.

 

[Testekill]

Sam should be our first ever 3rd generation pup correct?

 

[Optimistic Dog]

Welcome Sam. Grandfather number 15, Dad number 14. Sam number 2, 10 or 27 ???

 

[Anja_Nees]

It’s weird, I remember articles referring to him when he was just born in our 2003 season.

Makes one feel a bit old. Best of luck to him. Hope he kills it.

Welcome Sam.

Your Dad was one of my favourites, can’t wait to watch you play!

Someone who knows more than me - is Sam meant to be a ruck or KPP?

I reckon he's a KPP who can also ruck a bit.

Nope, Allan Edwards played for us in 1984, his father Arthur Edwards played for us 1950-61 and his grandfather Frank "Dolly" Aked played for the dogs between 1925 and 1932.

Have a sneaky feeling he will be next captain of the club once Bont hangs up the boots.

Speaks well enough and definitely holds himself well.

Man, that's a real deep cut.

Ok this is weird. Sam is the first f/s of a player I can remember vividly.

Not as weird as me remembering his granddad playing for us!

Who's the shrimp next to Sam?

Three generations

 

[adogsfan5]

Welcome Sammy!! Picks 1 and 2 in consecutive years. I’m excited.

 

[CDBulldog]

This will be the tallest Bulldogs team I can ever recall and it’s not even close. We will have 3 players well over 200cm tall (207, 205, 204) Martin just under (199) and then a few hovering around 197/198 (Bruce, JUH, Gardiner all 197, Keath I think is 198). I like this a lot. We now seem to have a dearth of smalls??????

Yeah I had the same reaction with Libba. I didn't remember much of Wallis and Cordy moved on from us three years before I was even born. Meanwhile Libba Snr. was one of my faves growing up.

I saw Sam's grandfather David's whole career as well as Luke's. Just makes be feel a bit older 61st year of membership next season.

 

[dogwatch]

It's just a shame David Darcy isn't still with us to enjoy the moment. A pic of the three of them together would have been great.

Some very nice vids of Sam on the Bulldogs site, including the List Management team’s visit to the Darcy home. Who is the bloke that did most of the talking?
