Draft
Darcy was recruited from Calder Cannons in the 2007 National Draft. Darcy was selected by the Essendon Football Club with its third round selection (39th overall) as a Father-Son recruit in recognition of Darcy's father, Anthony Daniher, who played 118 games for the Bombers. Prior to the 2007 National Draft, the Sydney, Geelong and North Melbourne Football Clubs had shown interest in recruiting the mid-sized defender.

Famous quotes containing the word draft:
“It is crystal clear to me that if Arabs put down a draft resolution blaming Israel for the recent earthquake in Iran it would probably have a majority, the U.S. would veto it and Britain and France would abstain.”
—Amos Oz (b. 1939)
“Why not draft executive and management brains to prepare and produce the equipment the $21-a-month draftee must use and forget this dollar-a-year tommyrot? Would we send an army into the field under a dollar-a-year General who had to be home Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays?”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“If violence is wrong in America, violence is wrong abroad. If it is wrong to be violent defending black women and black children and black babies and black men, then it is wrong for America to draft us, and make us violent abroad in defense of her. And if it is right for America to draft us, and teach us how to be violent in defense of her, then it is right for you and me to do whatever is necessary to defend our own people right here in this country.”
—Malcolm X (1925–1965)
