Toast Welcome to St.Kilda - DARCY WILSON!

[saintmike65]

Will be a star! Very impressive after 7 games of footy and he must have a decent tank already. Just pops up everywhere.

In time he’ll be one of the top wingman in the comp!

Looking forward to the 2023 draft revisited in a few years. Darcy top 5!

If Collard makes a career for himself that whole draft will will look like gold for us.

We were very lucky he was still not taken by pick 18

Luck, skill what ever it is. To me it says that our best two performing first year players over the last decade, were taken in years we made the finals. Lesson, don't tank.

We've been lucky 3 years running now. Nas, Pou and Darcy all the last picks in the recognised top pool.

Exactly this. North are a rabble, they’re senior-ish players want out since they’ve only tasted winning 7 or so times

Darcy needs to be our next priority re-signing.

He's got 18 months left. It'll get done soon enough.

Comparison of big Darc and Max Holmes at same age

 

[littlecreatures]

He reminds me of those Josh Kelly or Whitfield types who just run sides off their feet all day.

I might be off the mark, but I keep sensing Benny Cousins vibes if he can build out his contested game. Runs all day, serious tank, hard worker, solid and reliable (above average) kick/disposal but not exactly elite, and makes good decisions.

Sounds like Rob Harvey.
Rob needs to coach him on how to hunch over and trick everyone into thinking he's cooked for the game.

Top 20 picks - so Wilson qualifies, Collard doesn't.

From the CBA

His athletic numbers are literally already elite.

Just needs to find his game now.

Prime Tom Scully vibes

Will be better than Scully, Darcy has the ability to become an actual outside/inside mix mid not just an outside runner like Scully was.

Scully was an elite athlete but an average footballer. Wilson looks a lot more natural with the ball in hand.

Darcy put on 9 kilos in his 18th year…if he can just add a few more to his frame, which is still on the light side, could definitely be an inside/ outside mid potentially

I think he was only a Kg lighter than Windsor ( 76kg) at draft time, probably a pretty normal weight for 18 YO recruits.
Others like Sanders were already 85Kg , which might be why they were a bit more dominant at a younger age.

I'm not fussed if we got one that matured slightly later.

Lenny's weight was normally listed between 83 and 87, and i reckon he was a fair bit skinnier when he started.

Great comparison. Holmes also was on 50% TOG vs 80% for Darcy.

Darcy doesn't look like a 1st year player at all. Will be the best player in the comp by year 5.

 

[botts]

Gotta be top 3 for the rising start. Hasn’t played a bad game. Could of kicked 5 last night
