Player Watch #34: Jackson Archer - BFNAAK - re-signed until end of 2026 - rd21 AFL RS nominee

[the flying ham]

He was very good in those first few games in 2020.

He was very good in games this year ferbs

Yeah he was but my point was that if you'd watched him when he first got here you'd know he was a very good player.

 

[shintemaster]

Corr is criminally underrated around here. David dench would have struggled the last couple years with the sheer volume of footy coming in. Corr is very solid, and with logue coming on board we will see his versatility more, intercepting and taking out smaller forwards. He's a good footballer

Agreed, although the point is valid given his age that there are at least 3 spots up for grabs from say 2024-5 onwards.

Agreed, we should absolutely be targeting kps for development as a result

Soon. Its not as high a priority as KFPs tho.

Logue, McKay and Dawson are all pretty young. We need to keep McKay and develop Dawson well, cos he showed alot considering where he came from. One or two KPDs over the next three drafts is okay tho. I guess its a pity McGuiness was no good but Dawson covers his role and is only a year or two older.

Both ends of the ground in the draft over the next couple years. And a project ruckman 205+

We’ve actually got more young KPFs than KPDs on the depth chart. Log and Dawson help the list balance in the immediate term, but they’re both mature recruits and we still could do with a young project KPD that’s taller than 195.

It’s helpful visually to lay out the depth chart by position and age. I’ll do one post draft.

Yeah Logue, Dawson and Mckay are all the same age, but they're all under 25. So young enough imo. Larkey is too, while CCJ and Chom are both younger.

Agree with the bolded tho. But two young KPDs over the next three drafts (or two years) should keep us covered. If Comben comes good and we pick Keeler (or the other well known KPF prospects) I'd say we're right on that front for a few years. But we have alot riding on Chom and CCJ and they aren't locks.

We only have Larkey as a proven KPF but could get away with saying with have three proven KPDs.

Running machine.

 

[Jasemon]

High praise from Cunners in his video yesterday. When asked to name who'd most caught his eye over the summer so far, outside the usual suspects LDU and Simpkin he named Jackson. This kid wants to succeed badly and I get the feeling nothing is going to get in his way to ensure that happens.

 

[Kanga Glory]

He may be like the old man , too brave for his own good, His body cannot take the contact at the moment but there’s nothing more exciting when you see a blue and white jumper smash in.

 

[DuckYeah]

2nd in the shuttle run? That is really impressive young fella!

 

[DuckYeah]

Hearing he was in the club almost every day during the off season from Jye. The kid is ****ing determined. Good luck to whoever when he plays on in the future

Certainly not leaving in any stone unturned in making it as an AFL footballer.

 

[JGreezy]

If he is going to consistently show up in this sort of shape and play with the heart that he does then you would think that he can forge a long career.

I wouldn’t mind another 200cm basketball convert that can run all day and break the all time taps record, either.

After last year, I think the recruitment and coaching team have fully realised the importance of attitude. Warsaw, Cheezel and Will seem like out and out guns in the attitude department.

 

[King Corey]

Pity there was never any video cut of his AFL involvements. Revisiting the limited footage, he's got a real snappiness to his playing style. Very interested to see what his improved endurance and a year in the system seemingly taking in every morsel of development will produce.

 

[outwecome2play]

I remember seeing his dad play is first game. It was a shocker and i though this guy is a dude.
Loved it that i was totally wrong.
Since that time i certainly give players longer before writing them off.

But he is a dude.

I'm 100% on the Jackson Archer Bus after what I saw yesterday. Can play.

Plays like.. Doedee?

 

[Swallow_Wood]

All any player can do is give themselves every opportunity to succeed. Well done young man.

Now that would be nice.
