Jack Darling had a massive brain fade in the second quarter of the second elimination final.

OOPS, he did it again.

After a well-publicised blooper in last year’s grand final, which saw him drop an absolute sitter, Jack Darling has suffered another brain fade at a terrible time for his Eagles.

The West Coast forward took a mark midway through the second quarter about 15 metres out from goal with his team struggling to make an impact on the scoreboard.

But despite having two Western Bulldogs players in very close proximity, Darling tried to play on before pulling back when he realised who was there.

The umpire was well aware of the situation though and called Darling for holding the ball.
