Great little video on him at RFC and has had a fantastic year. Would love to see him take Astbury's spot in the back line, can play!

Ben Darrou in focus

October 23, 2013


Tim Clarke says:  He’s really one to watch.  I can see him being the full-back at AFL level.  He just needs to get his athletic ability to match what he’s like as a footballer and match his drive.  If he can do that, he’s going to be a real player for us.”

Heard only today from a club insider that Big Benny is very highly rated and likely to play next year.

Kid's going to be a good 'un indeed. I'd upgrade him ahead of the likes of Petterd & Lonergan. (particularly if we plan to cotinue the absolute folly of playing the former in defence.) Has all the attributes to be our Josh Gibson and then some.

I honestly feel Petterd and Lonergan are stop gap and you'd hope some kid does knock them out of the 22 this year.  Not that Lonergan is in the 22.  If its Darrou then good on him. :thumbsup

Lonergan should be removed to live out his days as a VFL player
