Fractured skull; bruising to the brain. Ouch. That's not good. Hope he recovers well.

    Damn.

    Well that rules him out as a first round pick.

    Seems to have a knack of getting himself in trouble.

    Considering the report states "unprovoked" wondering how he got himself into trouble?

    I dont know either way but as fans we are too flippant about these boys and the careers ahead of them.

    Maybe a dose of compassion at the fact he has bruising on the brain would not go astray?

    He might walk tall amongst 18 year olds, but coming to the "Big Smoke" of Melbourne with our seniors guys could straighten him out. I sure as hell would not be pulling any BS will Brent Moloney watching over me.

    Kid could still be a star. He should remain in our sights.

    Other than this incident.

    I do not want this bloke being a nuisance and ruining our good culture here, from what I have heard about him. If he recovers from this incident successfully and wont let his attitude take over, he is definately someone to look out for at the draft.

    The footage I've seen of Darling from the U18 Champs both years does seem promising.

    What I liked about his footy was;

    Goal Kicking Accuracy and kicking distance

    Aggressive approach, intimidating like Jono Brown.

    Body Composition, quite strong.

    Applies Defensive Pressure

    His height wouldnt be a major concern at 190cm, with others Key Forwards like Fev at 191cm he could easily play at KPF with Jack Watts, with the two swapping from the goalsquare to further up the field.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
