STRENGTHS: Contested marking, goal kicking, match winner
IMPROVEMENTS: Work rate, consistency, endurance, athleticism

SUMMARY: At times Riley D'Arcy looked like a dominant forward who would kick a bag of goals after out-muscling his opponents, while other weeks he would be quiet. Often he might kick a bag of goals in a term such as his four goals in the crucial elimination final against the Eastern Ranges. D’Arcy has had injury concerns which explain his lower endurance and consistency, but reports he needs to build a higher work rate continue to surface. Has good potential, but needs to show it on a regular basis.
