In the world of AFL, news travels fast and the jokes come out even faster! Recently, the spotlight shifted to former Bulldog, Luke Darcy, as he announced his exit from the AFL media scene, specifically from Channel 7. It didn't take long for fellow media personality Kane Cornes to unleash his witty commentary, leaving no room for seriousness. Cornes, well-known for his sharp tongue, made a cheeky comment suggesting that Darcy could find himself running for politics — but with the same enthusiasm he showed in the commentary box, that vote won’t come from Cornes!

As they say, leaving the media is like stepping out of the arena; the banter continues! Cornes, always one to poke fun, decided to add a bit of sarcasm to the mix with his infamous quips right after Darcy’s announcement was made public. With a mix of nostalgia and a sprinkle of playful rivalry, Cornes turned the serious moment of retirement into pure entertainment. Darcy’s exit was marked by not only fond memories but also a reminder that in the sports media game, everyone is always ready with a laugh — especially if it’s at your expense.

For Luke Darcy, it's a bittersweet farewell to the commentary box, a space where he carved his niche and made an impact as one of the voices of AFL. Often seen as the underdog of the media world, his departure marks the end of an era. Many fans will miss his unique insights and the warmth he brought to broadcasts. However, Cornes’ relentless taunting reminds us that no matter the profession, some moments are just too good for old mates to pass up!

As the dust settles on Darcy’s media exit, one can’t help but think what’s next for the former footy star. A foray into politics might be the last thing on his mind, but if Cornes has anything to say about it, it would be as dramatic as a last-minute goal in the grand final! Meanwhile, the AFL community is left chuckling at the comedic showdown while anticipating who might fill Darcy's shoes. It’s a game of musical chairs out there!
