There’s nothing whatsoever shaggy about Swaggy! The Restump Podcast looks at Sean Darcy’s Doig Medal win and the host of the seemingly endless list of other award recipients. We also cast the eyes over day one of trade week where it seems  ridiculousness was front and centre.

Massive victory for Sean “Swaggy” Darcy to win the Doig medal at the age of just 23. It was a much-deserved result and it put an exclamation point on the end of the most remarkable year for him personally.

Hayden Young chipped in with the Beacon award and Caleb Serong tied with the great David Mundy to win the clubman trophy. In the acceptance speeches, Hayden suggested he’s well settled in the West now and then it nearly brought tears to our eyes when Caleb said he and his partner definitely call WA home now. Lock them in on Buddy Franklin length deals!

The Cerra deal looks likely to proceed with minor details getting ironed out, the Geelong crew are off their collective heads asking for pick 8 for Jordan Clarke, the Rory chatter has quietened and the question some are asking is Will Brodie be a Docker or won’t he? 

Last but not least, Jojo McDonnell reveals a potential young WA jet in the draft has been spoke to by eastern state clubs, but not by either of the WA clubs.

For those that can’t get enough purple vibes, there’s 40 minutes of Fremantle fanfare and Restump recitation right here.
