Picking a player at number one on potential is probably a little disrespectful to guys like Daicos and Bont and yet another reason why Cornes can never be taken seriously.

He is just trying to be controversial for publicity’s sake.

In fairness. I’d take Darcy over Daicos. You won’t find another monster like him for probably another decade or more. You’ll find a load of small midfielders.

Daicos is a consistent proven match winner , whereas Darcy although he shows enormous potential probably doesn’t deserve number one ranking just yet.

Yeh agreed. I’m just saying, you won’t see another Darcy. You give any decent midfielder protection and they’ll tear it up.

For example, Butters is essentially the same size and goes ham.

I also think it’s significantly harder for forwards. They have no control of where the ball goes and have to make do a lot. Compared to midfields who are the ones as you said that can change games.

Yes I agree with you and totally get what you’re saying and if the discussion was who to draft at pick one I’d understand, but it’s about ranking of who is currently the best player.

Ever since Darcy had a crack at Maynard he’s been my favourite non dees player

I think it's about ranking who he thinks will be the best player in season 2026.

Darcy is a fair call.

Two things;

Bit weird to take photos of people when they are getting their first ever prostate check. (Once you see, you cannot unsee)

No Oliver and no Petracca. Wow.

Just on the Darcy choice as No.1 - Cornes has been super bullish about him, for example recently predicting Darcy will soon pass Jeremy Cameron's 11-goal game. So at least it can be said Cornes genuinely believes Darcy will be that dominant a player.

I do think Darcy is a gun and I'm not sure there would be many players I'd rather magically recruit to Melbourne, plus he has a great first name, but I also think once you are talking about the top three or five it really is all about personal preferences.

You’ll find one in the 2027 Draft if not taken by Tassie this year asa 17 year old concession this year. Bookmark Axel Walsh
