Listening to that SEN interview with Ameet Bains I have completely changed my mind on playing Darcy this year. If he has grown around 5 cm in 2022 I would be wary of putting too much stress on his body. I am not a medico but if the feet problems are related to growth and stress , let the boy relax. the risk might be too high for a few games of development.
Wouldn’t he be just as likely to injure himself this way in a VFL game rather than AFL.
