Fantasy Impact

Jack Darling will provide key forward support for Nick Larkey at the Kangaroos.

His experience and size along with Larkey does provide optimism that there will be an increase in marks inside F50 next season.

Getting enough supply inside F50 may still be an issue for the Kangaroos in 2025, they were ranked last with 45.3 inside 50s last year while they were ranked 17th with 9.7 marks inside F50.

Darling’s fantasy scoring output is likely to be moderate at best for the 2025 season.
