All class, Darcy 👏 #AFLPiesDons

Best ever post match speech. Ridiculous how perfect it was.

+ A brilliant and eloquent speech by Darcy. He made it all about the day and the significance of the occasion. #AFLPiesDons #LestWeForget

So very well said, Darcy. You are a credit to your family and to Collingwood & clearly you have gifts and composure to do much after you finish playing football.

@gothevikings Darcy for PM

As the first in 3 generations not to go to war, this is the very first time anyone has ever acknowledged my effort to shield my kids from intergenerational dysfunction and pain. Thanks. It is a noble and unexpected speech. I weep.

What a thoughtful, eloquent and beautiful speech. For a young man to speak like that, was wonderful to see. Great role model 👏🏻

All this only moments after being involved in an epic clash where he has given everything. Absolutely brilliant & so heart warming to hear the respect & love shown to our ANZACS and service men & women. Darcy is a fine young man and magnificent leader👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Impossible to dislike him. Impressive young man.

These are the words of a very articulate & well grounded young man. His heartfelt ANZAC game day speech shows he is a champion player & a champion person. The Pies could not ask for a better leader. #GoPies
