He has been less than 20 years for the day since Darcy’s father – 226 Bulldogs Great Luke – underwent the first of the two serious knee injuries which put him away for most of 2005-2006
Coach Luke Beverridge took care not to paint an image too much on Darcy before the results of scan of the budding superstar were known, but conceded that he was “a little worried”.
The Bulldogs football manager Matt Egan did not chop his words.
“The medical staff are quite concerned at this stage and they fear the worst,” Egan at Seven Network said at halftime in the shock of the saints.
“It looks like a possible ACL, but we will just have to wait until the analyzes confirm.
“At this point, we fear the worst, which is regrettable because it is an incredible person and we will obviously miss.
“But until we have analyzes, it is quite difficult to say too much.”
Darcy scored 38 goals in a campaign in small groups last year and added 14 as the most prolific traction of the Bulldogs in their first five games this season.

The 21 -year -old was the main target of dogs in attack this season and is now leaving a massive hole in their attempt to play the finals.
Beveridge will turn to his “role-role options” to fill the void and suggested that he could also use a smaller range in the future, starting with the Round-Seven meeting with GWS in Canberra.
“Buku (khamis) can play in one or the other end of the soil, as James (O’Donnell) can,” said Beveridge.
“We think James in the long term is probably more a key back for us.
“It is not in the plan an approach to the game to play Rory (Lobb) in front of a match, but it’s an option.
“He will do anything for the team – he is a big team man like that.
“And the other option is to play a little smaller at certain times.”
The star in difficulty Uggle-Hagan remains unavailable for selection because he deals with personal problems.
The 23 -year -old was Bulldog’s best goal with 43 majors last year – ahead of Darcy with 38 – but did not play this season at all.
Beverridge said last week, the future of Uggle-Hagan’s game was in the hands of the AFL, and Sunday evening, he insisted that Darcy’s injury had not raised the chances of a recall for the old choice of recovery n ° 1.
“This will obviously not happen in the immediate term, so it probably does not worth chatting for the moment,” said Beveridge.
“With regard to all replacements, we really cannot consider” Marra “.
