Jack Darling

There’s no sugarcoating it, Darling struggled in his last season at West Coast, but North maintains the 32-year-old forward still has something to offer and can act as a much-needed foil for star Nick Larkey in attack. One of West Coast’s all-time greats, he ranks second at that club for games played (298) and goals kicked (532).

Honours

All-Australian (2019), West Coast Leading Goalkicker (2012, 2018, 2019, 2021), AFL Rising Star Nominee (2011), West Coast Premiership (2018).
