2025 Telstra AFL Draft: Pick 60 – Will Darcy
The father-son prospect was taken with the final selection in the 2025 Telstra AFL Draft.
The 18-year-old becomes the latest in the Darcy lineage to land at the Kennel, joining brother Sam on the list and following in the footsteps of father Luke (226 games) and late grandfather David (133 games).
Will was taken with Pick 60, the final selection in the 2025 Telstra AFL Draft.
Having suffered a back injury which limited him to only five appearances with the Oakleigh Chargers, Will’s ability to impact at either end of the ground will sure excite Bulldogs fans.
Bulldogs Player Acquisition and Strategy Manager Michael Regan said Will's development through school footy and the Coates Talent League had been pleasing.

“He’s still growing”: The father-son project that’s worth the gamble
Western Bulldogs father-son prospect Will Darcy knows he's not a finished product yet and will need to put in the work to crack into a strong Footscray side as he awaits his selection to the club via either the National Draft or rookie draft.
Will is a master aerialist and dominates in marking contests with his long frame, making him a versatile option that can be swung forward from defensive 50 if needed, possessing the skill to take crucial intercept marks or to sit deep in the forward line and crash packs.
However, Darcy had limited exposure in the Coates Talent League this season, mainly due to a back injury which kept him to five games, though his similarities to older brother Sam Darcy were clear, despite being 12 centimetres shorter than the prized unicorn talent.
