Sarah D'Arcy (born 22 August 1991) is an Australian rules footballer with the Richmond Football Club in the AFL Women's competition (AFLW). Previously, she played four seasons at Template:AFLW Col including in the club's inaugural team.

Early life and state football

D'Arcy is originally from Healesville and was introduced to football via her local Auskick program.[citation needed] She switched to soccer before returning to play football with the under-14 boys at Healesville Football Club.[citation needed] After two games she was playing with Yarra Valley Cougars in the senior women's division.[citation needed] Four years after joining the Cougars, D'Arcy joined the Eastern Devils in the VFLW.[citation needed] During her time at the Eastern Devils, she played for both Template:AFLW Mel and Template:AFLW WB in exhibition matches.[1] Western Bulldogs chose her with pick No. 34 for the 2013 exhibition match.[2] In the 2016 season, D'Arcy kicked 30 goals for the Eastern Devils.[3]

AFL Women's career

Ahead of the 2017 season, Collingwood player Emma King said she thinks D'Arcy will be a star, despite not many having heard of her. She described her as probably one of the best half-forwards with a great hand and great lead, predicting that she'll be very dominant in Collingwood's forward line.[4] D'Arcy made her debut in round 1, 2017, in the inaugural AFLW match at IKON Park against Template:AFLW Car, in which she had 14 disposals and was one of Collingwood's best players.[5] She was one of the standout performers for the club, leading the team with 39 disposals after three weeks.[1]

Collingwood re-signed D'Arcy for the 2018 season during the trade period in May 2017.[6] On 2 September, D'Arcy played for Victoria in the inaugural AFL Women's State of Origin match, where she swapped between full-forward and higher up the ground and kicked a banana goal from an acute angle.[7]

D'Arcy returned to the Collingwood side in round 1, 2018, but was the subject of controversy after she was reported for kicking Template:AFLW Car's Sarah Hosking in the groin. She was subsequently offered and accepted a two match ban under the AFL's match review system.[8] The incident was assessed under the system as "intentional conduct medium impact to the groin".[9] She was the first player in either the AFLW or AFL to be sanctioned under the new system overseen by match review officer Michael Christian.[10]

Collingwood re-signed D'Arcy for the 2019 season during the trade period in June 2018.[11]

At the conclusion of the 2020 season, D'Arcy was traded to Richmond alongside teammate Sarah Dargan, in a package deal in exchange for a third and fourth round pick at the 2020 draft.
