Sam Darcy grew up with Footscray blood in his veins. His grandfather David played 133 games, while dad Luke is a former captain with 226 fames to his name.

At 204cm, Sam Darcy spent his final years of junior football tearing games apart, his height especially making him hard to beat.

In the 2021 National Draft, Sam officially joined the Western Bulldogs with a father-son selection, and the 2nd overall pick in the Draft.

With strong hands and an ability to hit the scoreboard, Darcy could line up for the Bulldogs in their young and exciting forward line.

However his athleticism and mobility could see the youngster line up in almost any part of the ground, an exciting long term prospect for Bulldogs fans.
