I'm not going to do the silly bag the kid game some Demon supporters do. He's a serious talent, and I would have love to have kept him. The big question is whether he is worth what Freo paid, and will continue to pay, and are they using him correctly.
The second part of the question is still in the air. Like us with Grundy, they seem a bit a sea not knowing where his best position is, and he was brought in not on need basis, but rather than on availability. I'm sure they will work it out, but it may take some time, and may push a bloody good ruck in Darcy to another club.
On the first bit, Freo have given up some serious coin and draft picks for him. We can't prove a negative, and maybe those picks would have been wasted, and the coin going on players that would never make it, but still...
But it is what it is, and I wish him all the best. He is, after all, one of our premiership players, and the man in the middle during bang bang bang, but I can't help think that Freo will spend the next 2 years adjusting the team to suit him, rather than the other way around.
