Overview

  • Sam Darcy was substituted out of the Bulldogs' Easter Sunday clash against St Kilda after hyperextending his left knee during a marking contest in the first quarter.
  • The 21-year-old forward hobbled off the field and was taken directly to the dressing rooms for further medical assessment.
  • Former St Kilda captain Nick Riewoldt expressed fears on Channel Seven that the injury could involve an ACL rupture, though scans are still pending to confirm the extent of the damage.
  • Darcy, a key player for the Bulldogs with 38 goals last season and 14 so far in 2025, is particularly vital as the team manages the ongoing absence of Jamarra Ugle-Hagan.
  • The injury comes months after Darcy signed a four-year contract extension in December, solidifying his role as a cornerstone of the Bulldogs' forward line through 2029.
