It's taken a while with Darcy, but we're probably now seeing the player we thought we were getting a fair few years back. If he stays fit and keeps playing the way he currently is for the rest of this season I expect to see him in the AA side at the end of it. You name it he's got it, he has everything it takes to be great. I still feel sad thinking that if he was out there on GF day last year, in even reasonable nick, we surely win. The same applies to Dunn, of course. We just needed that one defender who was big enough to make life a bit tougher for Kennedy. Very unlucky!
De Goey is an outrageous talent. I wouldn't swap him for anyone right now, and by the end of the year he may well be recognised as the competition's finest. Along with Moore, the two of them should end up in our best side from 1990 onwards, and De Goey (at least) may well be deemed good enough for our all-time team if he can play like he currently is for a few years. That is a long way off, however. It's great to watch both these young blokes (who came from the same draft and the same club) play. We still need to get in a KPF or two, but thank goodness they were prepared to go for De Goey when so many would have insisted that we needed Peter Wright instead!! Maybe the recruiters really did know what they were doing!
