Darcy MacPherson has been best 22 at times in his Gold Coast career but in recent times has been on the fringes, as like Brayden Fiorini he is probably not enough of a two-way runner to survive in today's midfield structures. He was tried last week as a half back flanker, a role which is arguably the easiest on the ground to play. One might argue that this is the sort of move made in desperation as a last-ditch attempt to squeeze something out of a player in which much has been invested before he is delisted, especially considering he is probably filling Lachie Weller's spot.
