First Year Players - Jack Darling

@Dreamteam_Guru is now focusing on first year forwards.  Are you also going to pick Jack Darling?
Jack Darling. It’s a nice name.  Jack is a powerful name, and Darling has all the endearing qualities you want in your dreams.  Jack Darling will be a powerful player for your dreamteam in 2011.
He was taken at pick 26 by West Coast, which is an absolute steal. 12 months ago, people were talking about him going in the top 5.  Some injuries and off-field incidents have pushed him down the order, but you should still consider him.
He is staying in his home state.  That has to be good for his development as a player and as a man.  He will be settled into his new AFL lifestyle quickly.
He is at an underachieving club.  This is good news for Dreamteamers.  He will play games without having to fight for his place.  Wosha will be forced to play kids, and Darling will be one of the first pick.
Finally he is a forward.  It is usually easy to find first year midfielders, but it can be hard to find cheap defenders, forwards and rucks.  Jack Darling is one of two forwards (the other being Sam Day) that I see as logical choices this year.
