Bulldogs star Sam Darcy subbed off with knee injury

The 21-year-old immediately grabbed at the knee and lay on the turf for a few moments before getting to his feet.

Darcy hobbled off the ground and was taken directly down to the Dogs' dressing room for further assessment.

He was replaced by second-game substitute Cooper Hynes.

Darcy, the son of club great Luke, kicked 38 goals last year in a breakout campaign and added 14 as the Bulldogs' most prolific forward through their first five games this season.

Widely regarded as a generational talent, Darcy signed a four-year contract extension with the Bulldogs last December, which ties him to the club until the end of 2029.
