Welcome to the Bulldogs Sam Darcy

[Optimistic Dog]

Another curious factor about nominees to date is that no-one from last year's draft has been nominated yet.

If we had 3 nominations in a row, including the first nominee from last year's draft, that would be a real feather in our cap.

I think Rylie Wrong Way Sanders would need a near BOG performance this week for the AFL to give the one club 3 nominations in a row.

Such an impressive speaker. Well drilled.

I’ve said this previously but he has future captain vibes.

Bit of an oddity that we may end up with 3 early Rising Star nominees in the same year from 3 players taken across 3 separate drafts. It's a strange award.

And still may miss finals... hides

Pretty sure JOD only misses eligibility by a single game too. Could have been a 4th from an in-season Category B signing.

He also misses out due to his age.

If English were to go down injured, would Darcy be NIL to move into the number one ruck role, or would Lobb come in and do it?

Lobb 100%.
Lobb + Darcy is a very good 1-2 ruck/forward pairing

Why? He’s still 21 and eligibility is 21 or under on 1st January 2024.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

He was born in 2002 and, as it’s 2024, only those born 2003-05 are eligible.

Under 21, not 21 and under.

 

[doggiesin08]

Under 21, not 21 and under.

Zero Hanger which is usually pretty good references “or under” but looks like AFL website directly confirms you’re right. Thanks!

Thought this was an interesting comparison.

Luke Jackson (averages in his rising star year):
13 disposals
10.6 hit outs
2 tackles
0.6 goals
1.25 inside 50s
3 marks

Sam Darcy (first 5 games in 2024):
12.2 disposals
9.2 hit outs
3.6 tackles
1.6 goals
2 inside 50s
4.8 marks

If he gets even 2 or 3 steps to jump at a ball he is marking it. Once the strength comes he will unbeatable 1 on 1.

He and Jamarra are two of the three most exciting prospects I've seen in my time as a fan.

 

[maddog37]

His awareness of when to fly and when to stay down is miles ahead of some other forwards we have already. He is a natural.

Yes, but I think Darcy should be moved to defence provided Lobb keeps his spot and Jamarra returns. No more than 3 tall forwards at once.

Most of us remember the Eade days when we had no proper tall forwards. Now we're spoilt!

I’ll bite. Who’s the third?

 

[Optimistic Dog]

You go to love for a big guy how he plays on after a mark and hits targets. Very unique.

And, Sam has a very good pair of hands - he's shown that

 

[St 07]

probably Jason Tutt
