The former South Launceston State League player polled 90 votes to finish 10 ahead of 2016 winner and former skipper Tom Pedley, with Lachlan Mcfadzean another 25 back in third.
Darke played 13 games and recorded best-on-ground performances against Bridport in Perth, but couldn’t stop the Thistles missing finals for the first time this decade.
Meanwhile, Patrick Lawrence has been unveiled as St Pats’ new reserves coach following the exit of three-time flag boss Scott Bennett.
Bennett led the Saints to 104 wins from 108 games in four seasons.
