Player Watch #?: Jack Darling - has officially been traded to NM from WCE in exchange for #67 - welcome Jack

[Nylex]

For players who played more than 10 games in 2024 Paul Curtis is ranked 12th for average tackles inside 50, Zurhaar 24th. Then daylight. Then Eddie Ford at 113. FWIW Jack Darling is ranked 17th.

That's a significant improvement if Darling can match his output this year.

If not really a fan, neither here nor there honestly, but I can see some value in it.

113th.. why do we play these blokes

 

[Passmore]

What a monumental carry on.

 

[perplexed]

You fellas don't need to give up a pick.

We are using the same concept as Ralph wanted us to do with Baker.

Instead we will apply it to darling.

Pick 2
For
Pick 3 + Darling + Hawks Pick 30/F2

You get darling and picks in returns it's a win win.

Who do you think WC would need to move up for? Draper?

 

[ferball]

Oh dear. Beaten to it by Nostra.

Now this truly is rock bottom.

 

[Flawed Genius]

What a monumental carry on.

Never is this board filled with quibbling old molls more than during North Melbourne's true raison d'etre - traid szn

I do count myself amongst the shaky-handed warbling nonsense peddling molls fwiw

Now watch us get fixtured against West Coast in Round 2, so they can watch us chair Jack off after his glorious 300 game career in the Blue and White.

While hurling abuse to yet to be named coach for mocking one of our young players for tweeting that we would beat them.

 

[Roostorm]

Griff’d be there all banged up, Simpkin’d be 2 minutes late and LMac’d be walking around out the front with that daft grin, before walking into the window beside the door and pulling on a door that clearly says push.

I’ve read this a few times…and each time it bloody well makes sense.
With Tom Morris hiding in the shrubbery outside.

 

[Gasometer]

I’m more concerned about the lucrative and lengthy signing of Zurhaar than Darling.

As we go forward and actually acquire forwards in the draft and our younger guys improve, Zurhaar’s contract will be a gun to the selection committee’s head. We saw this year just how poorly he played when underdone and unfit, despite being selected for as many games as possible.

He’s down at Crocks Gym though!

All aboard the Darling train. Toot toot

How about keep the future 2 and throw in Liam Ryan..

FF: Curtis Larkey Darling
HF: Teakle Comben Zurhaar

Not sure if serious? We'll be killed in the rebound!

That was an improvement on his previous year.

Darling also has a black belt in Martial Arts. To me that reeks of self discipline and determination. Our team needs this in spades.

Now that is a long bow. Lol

Ha ha. We are living in desperate times….

I don’t think he’s proficient in archery

 

[rickety]

I don’t think he’s proficient in archery

That's why we have this bloke

 

[Gasometer]

He spoiled the mark McDonald was taking, that lead to their game winning goal in our last game with them. While he is not at his peak, he has been playing a role allowing Waterman and Allan to be the main targets. The fact that we need to get senior players in to set standards is diabolical. It does not speak well of our current senior leaders or to be frank those who have finished up in the last 3 years (I will give Cunners a pass for obvious reasons). Its an absolute joke that standards became so bad

Which two Senior players are you talking about from the two?

Name and shame

Incorrect. Being well versed in marital arts, I can confirm that JD is not a black belt. He may be a Dan in something like teppanyaki, which is nothing to be sneezed at, but yeah, that’s about all she wrote.

Get JHFF on the phone pronto!
