No. Jack Redden is a butterfly. A beautiful butterfly has emerged, resplendent from an earlier, ugly caterpillar form.
Say it again bro!

Allrighty
Been converting friends at my house on gameday on how good Darling is. And people that haven't seen much footy this year, think I'm full of kaka and then stare at disbelief at his performances, "is this the same guy, is this real life?"
He is tearing teams to shreds. I haven't seen this dominant a forward in 20 years since.... a criminally under-rated Tredrea, at his peak in a 2-3 year span, obliterating teams as a Power Forward.
Buddy comes close but not in a Power Forward way, more in freak ability, run etc...
I am absolutely speechless. If you were picking a forward right now in your team, it's Darling in a heartbeat.
If you were picking any player in the AFL right now for your team, and it's not because I'm one eyed, throw a blanket over Nic Nat, Yeo and Darling. Honourable mention to Gaff. But those 3 are the top 3 players across the AFL this year.

Robbo's hero 2 weeks in a row
"Dominated like we haven't seen in quite some time".
Reminds everyone of Carey and debating whether he's the best player in the game right now.

Well, to be fair, he has been pretty average up until this year, hasn't he? Also, what's changed this year because typically the issue has been whenever JK and Darling are in the same team things never work out as well as when it's just one or the other. Something has changed this year whereby having them both in the team is better than one or the other and I'm not sure why that is?
I honestly think his mindset is clear and he is in a good frame of mind, a really happy place.
He is a father now, his son is healthy and he doesn't have those stresses of his birth and complications clouding his mind.
I think he gets it now and he is playing with absolute freedom and becoming the player his potential always said he could be

The signs were there after the Gold Coast game. The staging disappeared and the rest was to come. He is performing at an exceptional level at the moment and I couldn't be happier.

Sam Jacobs. Why would you bother responding to this AFL column filler?
Nah. The point about Darling getting unwarranted crap, by definition, means that it wasn’t fair. Clearly he’s been incredible this year and that’s a huge improvement, but he wasn’t ever “pretty average”. A few very visible howlers had biased a lot of people’s opinions and they made all of their subjective judgments around that minority of memorable (for the wrong reasons) moments.
seriously? hahah. egg on face moment.
EXACTLY.
Darling has been a great contributor for years, multiple 40+ goal seasons (4 i think and 39 another year).
so glad he is in a purple patch and i hope it continues for another 5 years as he hits his peak age.
It’s a joke account. Same as the Josh Jenkins one. I lold

The fact he’s making JJK second option is ridiculous
