Boasting enormous athleticism for a key position player over 200cm, Darcy has taken AFL in his stride during his first three seasons. The son of Collingwood legend, Peter, the Pies used their first selection in the 2014 Draft to match the bid of the Western Bulldogs resulting in Darcy being selected with pick 9. 

After biding his time in the VFL, Darcy made his AFL Debut in Round 14 of the 2015 season against Hawthorn who at the time were the reigning Premiers. Darcy quickly adapted to the speed of AFL and only two weeks later he kicked 5 goals in an 18 point loss to the Western Bulldogs which clearly showed the club and the AFL public that there was a bright future ahead.

Predominantly playing as a key forward in his first few seasons, Darcy also showed his versatility playing in defence and the ruck. However it was up forward where he made his mark kicking 51 goals in 54 games whilst regularly playing as the only key forward against the opposition team defence.

Season 2018 was particularly frustrating for Darcy as he suffered a recurring hamstring injury, however he worked diligently to overcome the injury which was evident during the 2019 and 2020 season. Under unique circumstances in 2020, Darcy enjoyed his best season resulting in him being named as the All Australian Centre Half Back.
