- really excited to extend my super I mean career sorry

 

[The Nostradamus]

I would think if we played Larkey, Teakle and Pink in our "purple patch" last season (yes, I know everything's relative) then it would be Darling for Pink

yep darling and larkey the permanent key forwards

Teakle the second ruck who rotates forward and off the bench

 

[Better Loosen Up]

I would think if we played Larkey, Teakle and Pink in our "purple patch" last season (yes, I know everything's relative) then it would be Darling for Pink

Yes, and at the same time, most of the top sides are starting to move away from the 3 talls in the forward line.

With the way the game is trending, Pink's position should be redundant from next season anyway.

We would've already had Larkey, Teakle and Zurhaar. That's tall enough.

It's our small forwards where we are completely lacking.

 

[Joshen]

Do I get it? Yes
Do I love it? No
Is he one of us now and therefore has my full support? Yes
Will that stop me from roasting this trade when he has a poor game? No

 

[chubbspeterson]

Most tackles inside West Coast's F50 last year. That stat surprised me.

sorry, but Brisbane just won a flag with Daniher (201), Hipwood (203) and Morris (191), the latter the same height as Darling; Jarrod Berry also spent time forward at 192

and darling's forward pressure is elite

i think larkey, darling and teakle are locks for round 1

teakle's spot will come under pressure as that second ruck third tall forward over the year from Finnbar and CCJ

Did we offer him his own Tent?

 

[Horace]

Two things that those "luminaries" sitting around the round table, seem to have forgotten, are firstly, we gave up Pick 67, which the Eagles might not even use and secondly, if he doesn't perform to the level our club hopes he will, he will get dropped to the Reserves. Pretty easy really.

 

[GS WARRIORS]

298 games and we can only find 35 seconds of highlights (and some repeated) after weeks of knowing he is coming. Great work team.

 

[desie]

Did we offer him his own Tent?

Apparently his first suggestion as a bonding exercise is a camping trip with wives and girlfriends welcome.

 

[giantroo]

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Welcome Jack, I hope this ends as a truly mutually beneficial trade.

 

[Orange Peanut]

This doesn't really tell us whether Jack will be getting off his couch any stage this spring.

 

[Mattman93]

I know there's been a lot of negativity (at least there was when it was initially rumoured) but you should be pleased. This is a good acquisition and Darling's reputation in the broader AFL community has always been unfairly dim.

 

[zoomba23]

That headline could probably be true for any player that we trade in from another team. I'm sure both Parker and Darling will be unpleasantly surprised at our team's work ethic

Including from your own club? :stern look

Big forwards win big finals games.

Midget forwards win a cheap irrelevant home and away match and the irrelevant fapping of internet wannabes

What do over the hill forwards win

Kick it to me!!!!

 

[DocSholl]

Big forwards win big finals games.

Midget forwards win a cheap irrelevant home and away match and the irrelevant fapping of internet wannabes

We've literally just watched Lohmann and Bobby Hill be the most impactful forwards in the last two grand finals

Hope you get an easy number to remember you by Jack Darling

. Go well!

What’s up with the glossy images of players at our joint these past few months?

See above

Is Chat GPT making them?

They look like war heroes or Brownlow Medallist’s when in fact they’re not

Keep it simple

 

[The Dingrel]

Kick it to me!!!!

BBB's career post footy?
