Welcome to the Bulldogs Sam Darcy

Trivia question: which 2016 premiership player made his debut in the same game?

The bloke that tackled Buddy in the 2016 GF

 

[olimauldon]

Disappointed that he'll get weeks but pleased to see he's got that mongrel in him and made Maynard earn it

 

[Dale4captain]

He is already what the media and draft experts described the King brothers to become initially.

Except Sam is much better. MUCH better.

There's an emerging Alpha Dog in there.

Got the Kretiuk mad stare, too.

Except Sam is much better. MUCH better.

He’s such a unique player. Easily could also be an ruckman as influential as Max Gawn with kicking skills which would be a scary proposition.

 

[Angak]

He's already a good kick off both feet

Literally came here to say this, he is the player everyone told us Max King would be.

Extraordinary talent. Just wish he hit Maynard even harder.

Luke Hodge of all people the voice of reason saying great Maynard isn’t injured but that is exactly what you want to see from your big forwards.

If Schache played with even half of the aggression and mongrel of Darcy he would've been a handy KPF.

 

[Thunderoad]

There's an emerging Alpha Dog in there.

Got the Kretiuk mad stare, too.

His old man wasn't especially demonstrative in games but had some of that madness as well.

Knocked out Bob Murphy in a practice match and didn't speak to his mate Nathan Brown for two years after he left for Richmond.

 

[Optimistic Dog]

Plenty love here for Sam. I will just put it this way I would what Nick Daicos is to the pies Sam is to the dogs.

 

[Dogs_R_Us]

He's good. But he's not just good, he's tough. And not just physically tough, he's mentally tough. He's good.

Bevo said Darcy believes he can take on any opponent

 

[Next Waiting]

Bevo said Darcy believes he can take on any opponent

There's some evidence to suggest that that's not delusional.

 

[ScragCity]

Tbh I think it was worth the suspension to see one of our players show a bit of aggression for once. The big men set the standards in terms or physicality, which is my biggest criticism of English.

 

[weltschmerz]

Two weeks for giving Maynard a taste of his own medicine is probably worth it.

 

[JohnnySteel]

Two weeks for giving Maynard a taste of his own medicine is probably worth it.

And alittle rest won’t hurt. But we’ll miss him.

I want to have his Babies.

A 7 foot tall Walton Goggins, I want to see that.

 

[Dogs 13]

Nope. He will be the dominant player in the competition sooner than anybody thinks.

The thing that gets lost in discussions that inevitably turn to his height. Is the amount of core strength that he already has.

Opposition players are trying to push him under the ball in marking contests, but invariably end up flailing and falling at his feet like women's underwear at a Tom Jones concert.

I pegged him as a unicorn the first time I saw him.

Why Why Why Dear Normie
I suppose it’s not unusual.

Darcy's suspension will cost himself the Rising Star award now that Reid will likely get cited.

Wouldn't worry about that award. Jaidyn Stephenson has one, and his club didn't even want to keep him a few years later. Having a bit of aggression as a key position might make a few opponents think twice about standing in front of him.

He has the potential to be the best player in the AFL. You got a really good one here.

Agree, don't need to tell a Bulldogs fan that (Taylor > Bont). I find it pretty ridiculous that Darcy was even eligible given he is in his 3rd year and played matches in both previous seasons.

Both being out could put Sanders back in the frame if he keeps up his last half's efforts.

McKercher would be favourite now I'd think.

 

[Sentinel]

McKercher would be favourite now I'd think.

Wardlaw then McKercher and Wilson. At least that was the order behind Reid immediately post Darcy being cited, before Reid made that tackle. Darcy was 2nd favourite at the start of the round.
