Damian Barrett all but confirmed Jack Darling will make the move to North Melbourne this off-season, the Eagles veteran hoping to extend his career in Victoria.
The Saturday Rub’s James Brayshaw said his nephew Hamish – a former teammate of Darling – described what the 32-year-old will bring to the struggling Roos.
“He said he is an elite preparer … he’ll be a ripping example for the young kids, and he will light the gym up” Brayshaw explained.
