Luke Darcy's Biography

Retired AFL Bulldogs player, Luke Darcy is a favourite amongst many for his understanding of the modern game, his humour, motivation and drive.  Luke Darcy is a great motivational speaker and corporate MC.  

On-field, Darcy played over 200 games for the Western Bulldogs, following in the footsteps of his father David. He made his debut in 1994 and emerged as one of the AFL’s leading ruckman, winning the Bulldogs’ best and fairest award in 2001 before gaining All-Australian selection and winning the AFLPA MVP award in 2002. Darcy endured two knee reconstructions in 2005-6 after assuming the captaincy of the club.   

His versatility has been a hallmark to date. Darcy has provided special comments on Ten’s AFL coverage since his retirement from AFL at the end of 2007. In that time he has co-hosted football programs One Week At A Time and The Fifth Quarter, the network’s coverage of the ANZ Netball Championships, and the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi. Currently, Darcy is now an employee of Channel 7 and commentates alongside Brian Taylor for blockbuster matches, often on Saturday nights.  

His confidence elicited through wonderful voice projection and intricate knowledge of the game make him one of the bigger media personalities in the AFL. Darcy was hand-picked to be a part of Triple M’s program Hot Breakfast, working alongside industry icon Eddie McGuire. Prior to the move, Darcy was a regular voice on SEN1116 and 3AW either side of his AFL career. Darcy is also part of Triple M’s AFL coverage, calling the action of Friday nights.  

His understanding of the modern game, presentation skills and ability to interact with those on-air alongside him has made Darcy a favourite among audiences. Luke makes an inspired and refined choice for an MC or motivational speaker and brings class and expertise to any business and/or social event
