Overview

  • Sam Darcy hyperextended his left knee during a marking contest in the first quarter of the Bulldogs' match against St Kilda at Marvel Stadium.
  • Darcy hobbled off the field and was taken to the dressing room for immediate medical assessment, with substitute Cooper Hynes replacing him on the field.
  • Preliminary concerns about a possible ACL injury were raised by former St Kilda captain Nick Riewoldt, though confirmation awaits scan results.
  • Darcy has been a key player for the Bulldogs, scoring 14 goals in the first five games of the 2025 season following a breakout 38-goal campaign last year.
