Traded Jack Darling - Traded to North for Pick #67

[freofc1994]

If Darling Leaves, you can have Matt Taberner for a season or 2. lol

We'd need to package him up with a R1 pick for that to happen

 

[The Falcon Strike]

He’s contracted so have to trade

Pick 64 is what will get it done

Mutually end the contract - then he becomes a free agent. Can't recall who - but happened a few years back

 

[Purple Suit]

to be fair, the impact Darling will have at North wont be obvious to spectators, as a lot of it will be off-field

Such a leader during covid. The work he does behind the scene's atm has really set-up WC and I'm shocked they are trading him.

When North shoot up the ladder next year, JD will be main reason.

We wont get anything if hes a free agent, its better for us if its a trade

Thanks for your take mate

Much maligned player. Statistically, Darling has had a very good AFL career. With all that considered, North are absolutely bonkers if they offer this guy a 3 year deal. Give him 1 and a trigger for a second if he plays 18 games (At the very most!)

I don't know much about JD.

Can you expand a bit on this plz?

Hes got nothing, hes just having a go at Darling for not wanting the Covid jab and his output falling off in recent years

You're not going to get him to move interstate unless it's a 2 year deal at minimum I would've thought.

Most likely North will give him 2 years with a trigger for a 3rd...

I doubt that would be allowed and if it was we could do that with Shai Bolton & Dan Rioli and get picks #2 & #3 as compo picks

 

[Blackhawk42]

This is an interesting one. I feel like it benefits North in the short term, more than the long term, which is an odd approach for a side consistently in the bottom 4.

However, if having an extra forward target improves team balance and results in some extra wins in 2025, I feel like North fans would take it.

Create some winning culture is also important.

 

[Better Loosen Up]

"Loosing a step"

The number of people these days that don't know lose and loose is sad.

I mean, I can get the use of the wrong their, there or they're but lose and loose are two completely different words.

As a pure stop-gap to stop Larkey getting swamped while the young KPPs develop, it seems fair enough.

A bit like a 'mute' point

A bit like a 'mute' point

It’s a “moo point”

Like a cows opinion.

It doesn’t matter

Realistically he's replacing sellers on our list who averages 0.5 possessions a game.
