Welcome to the Bulldogs Sam Darcy

[TiAn_]

What I love about Darcy is that he has a footballer's brain. He thinks quickly on the field, and has general spacial awareness and decision making - just the little things like knowing where a teammate is going to run to, instinctively tapping the ball on to the right direction, etc

Often when you get 2+m tall blokes, they have weaknesses that you have to live with simply because height is a bell curve and there's so few 2+m tall men in our society. English is soft, Tom Boyd has small hands, Levi Casboult can't kick for goal etc. etc. for many of them, while they are athletic, and can jump and reach higher than their opponent, they simply don't have the naturally developed quick brain to be good at sports.

Darcy not only has a quick footy brain for a tall player, he even has a quick footy brain for any player.

Moves the ball on quickly to the right option and is a good kick off both feet. Cracks in hard. He’s got everything you could ask for from a young tall.

Yeah it’s nice to see in the Draft discussion about the talls in this years draft on the MB, comments that’s there is no standouts like Darcy in this years crop. Opposition really notice him too.

At this point he's probably going to be the gold standard for best tall in the draft for at least a few years.

Not sure if I mentioned it, but I have spoken to Luke personally who said Max Darcy may be better than Sam, not joking.

I am tipping Sam as our next captain in 2027. Two years of The Bont and then it will time to move over. Not that The Bont has not been a great captain but it would seem to just about the right time and person to do it.
