I guess there is a hesitancy after previous pre-seasons..but I, for one, think a fit and firing Darcy will be very excellent for the team

In the best confirmation that Darcy has fully recovered from his long term shaggers back, he and his partner are having another baby.

Theres nothing wrong with a ball magnet accumulator who has good metres gained. You do, however need players down the field who can win one on ones and kick goals when they get a look. Besides, Parish always worked closely with Zerret, who has had excellent vision and accuracy with I50s.
There is a negative that is not good, thats defensive effort. Its either not in his defined role, or he doesnt bother. If its the latter, its bad.
The modern game has only place for 1 slow accumalator mid, and they need to be elite at what they do. Problem is we have about 4 with Parish like capabilities, and they are all sort of good to average, and we try and play them all.

We have 4, ok.
And we like to play them all?!? You mean, like at the same time?!? I’m not convinced history shows that.

Headaches for Richmond maybe.
Shout out to Darcy he was imperious at times in this game really looked to be taking the pi$$ which had me giggling at times. Obviously it is just a simulation but his movement looked terrific- none of the stiffness he showed last season in his 3 games.
Merret was saying his he is “back to his best,” and Duursma was talking him up the other day so let’s hope he can stay fit.

Ah ■■■■ Darc is getting fitted with a new set of clubs. It was good while it lasted ladies and gents
10 minutes into the first quarter. Seen enough. Absolute liability. Does not defend. No urgency whatsoever in the midfield.

He’s playing ok, would like him not kicking inside 50 too often though.

Who else is doing any better
Everyone who is rating him so far, watch him when we don’t have the ball.
It’s ok not to have a defensive side but your offense side needs to be a weapon. His isn’t.

And that’s the problem with our mids. Cant keep just blindly bombing it in there

Hate out tackling brushed off with ease
Even the stat watchers are going to find it hard to defend this bloke in the second quarter.
First disposal with 2 minutes left in the quarter.

Im at the game mate and he hasnt been the issue.
None of our players are playing accountably,
Its not been one person it’s legitimately a team set up issue.
He also hasnt played much midfield this quarter.
