i heard on our supporters bus on the way upto the footy on saturday that we are after luke darcy at the end of the year,cos his contract runs out then,if thats true can anyone verify it,to be honest i cant see luke leaving the bulldogs,if they want to keep him and offer him alot of money i really cant see them offering him alot cos of their financial trouble..!!

cheers bryan..!!

It would have to depend on what contract he gets offered at the Bulldogs, if any.

as neil balme said, "it's not a story if collingwood aren't involved". At the moment darcy, stevens, brown, judd, wirrapunda are all in the black and white next year......let's only hope eh?

yeah,we could do with those players,all we can do is wait and see until the trade period starts hey,and see what happens then..

That would make our list very strong, but if they get Darcy would they keep 3 ruckmen? Or would we lose Fraser or McKee? I hope we don't lose them.

we were talking about that on the bus on saturday,if we did get darcy,who would we get rid of,either mckee or fraser,if any of them??

cheers bryan..!!

Hopefully neither, it would be hard to say which one to get rid of, maybe they will only lose a Draft Pick.

stuff that i would not trade frazer for darcy, i would rather lose mckey for him and a pick. Alot may disargee but i think frazer is gonna become a champion in years to come.

I really hope Fraser does, then he can prove me wrong, which I want him to do Smile

I dont think we will get darcy he is 28 years old why get him ??? all he will be is a short term fix for a long term problem keep fraser he has youth and time to blossom after all he is only 21

There are a couple of ways of looking at the following stats...

AFL TEAM Rankings Hit outs - year to date:

13) Collingwood - 200 (McKee 77, Fraser 50, Rocca 34, other 39)
14) Richmond - 194
15) Bulldogs - 178 (Darcy 102, Bandy 48, other 2 Cool

16) St Kilda - 165

Based on THIS year's form, is Darcy worth going after??????

Darcy would be worth getting - 28 is spring chicken for a ruckman - but he's not worth it at the expense of Fraser. what it would allow is for Fraser to go forwards more, or on the wing, whatever, and also give him time to develop into a ruckman, and someone to teach him!

but it's not that important, not worth losing Fraser over, worth losing a top draft pick? if he's out of contract we'd hav eto trade for a top pick, cause 13 teams would take him!

Commentators on the radio this week said that Darcy didn't look interested during the game. Could be a sign that he doesn't want to playfor the Dogs.
