Darren Tarczon played just 11 games for the Blues in two seasons - 1991 & '92, and booted 5 goals.

A strong, rugged utility, he was recruited from VFA club Port Melbourne, he previously had a stint with North Melbourne U/19's & Reserves. After debuting against Collingwood, he found his moment of fame in a tough encounter against West Coast a few weeks later, when he charged off the bench and almost split Guy McKenna in two with one of the best shirt-fronts of all time. He also kicked 2 that day as we beat the, to that point, undefeated Eagles by a tight margin.

Tarczon finished up against West Coast the following year. He was last seen having a run with his younger brother at Nth Melb / Kensington in the WRFL.
