Nick Bryan in for the 4th pls

Clearly pretty mature and not getting away with himself but other than that he is hard to get a read on in interviews because he is so serious.

 

[The Prosecutor]

Starting to see glimpses each week that this kid is going to be a superstar in 3-5 years time.

 

[blitzer]

There's glimpses with his ability to stand up whilst being tackled and his aerial work that he could have a very high ceiling if he keeps developing.
Honestly could be anything but will definitely be a long term AFL player.

Thought he was our most dangerous forward in the 1st half.

 

[bomberman500]

Thought the game was a little fast for him early on in the season. but looked very composed today

 

[I Remember Bluey]

Looked sore after the game, hope he is ok

 

[Haychh]

He moves in a way that you just know he is going to be a star. Those hips man!

 

[Zach Package]

Wins 1v1 contests. That is all

 

[naraku]

He seems to of worked out afl footy now ( speed of game, tactics etc) and has started to show us who he is.

[The Prosecutor]

Dangerfield

Yep

Back in and playing a fair bit forward apparently

 

[Atavistic]

First guy I've seen get tripped up and have holding the ball paid against him.

I’ve been trying to think of a past player Archie reminds me of and have settled on Daisy Thomas (Collingwood days). Athletic, midsized forward. Plays on quickly and is very aggressive offensively with his style of play. Maybe not as strong aerially but does seem to get onto his fair share of marks.

Reminds me a little of a young Ryan Houlihan.

Archie is pretty strong aerially, has taking some good marks under pressure this year.

[Don Won]

So he should pay him respect

If I was Archie, I'd be asking for Mayne for every life lesson; how to eke out a long footy career, dating tips... the works.

Dating tips from a dude who looks like that but still ****s would be gold

Proves that personality and being a good human trumps looks any day
