    • 2021 November 11, Chris Doerre, “The evolution of key position players in the AFL”, in ESPN‎[1], retrieved 27 July 2025:
      Of this year's crop of key position players, the premier tall is Sam Darcy, who stands at 204cm and looms as a future star. Darcy, a father-son for the Western Bulldogs and the son of club great Luke is 7cm taller than his father. Given Luke's great career as a ruckman, it may seem surprising on paper that his son is so much taller than his father, yet is a key position player rather than a ruckman.
