He is the one I am excited about most.

Me too

Just feels like Archie could step up and do some magical stuff in a final. He has had a year of lots of nearly. Nearly a hanger, nearly a freak goal. I reckon he's the type to rise to the occasion.

His movement on the field and power reminds me of mere neagle.
for a supporter of my age that is a massive wrap

 

[ghostdog]

any lips readers out there?

That's the kind of thing a captain would do, Arch

Loved Merv. Devastated when he went to the Swans and deeply saddened when he passed, just on 9 years ago now. Great footballer.

Mayne did all the talking and Archie feigned interest like a pro!

I don't know if it's just me but he seems a bit of a loner. Yes gets involved in the odd celebration but then retreats to his sultry photograph head shot pouting expression and often off to the side watching others converse.

Fascinating character and oozes talent but still very much a mystery to unlock.

Some real Alex Rance vibes.

lol that was my impression too. Mayne latched onto to poor Archie and was talking his head off like grampa simpson to a supermarket cashier. I think there is a point in the clip where Archie looks to the side and half rolls his eyes like he's saying to teammate "save me from this"

He was getting around the other young blokes like Jones and Cox… but they’re not currently in the side.

 

[LLLLLOOOOOYYYYDDD]

Few mates went to school with him, say his a different character, not a bad bloke though

Actually thinking about it more, I'd say a little bit like Dusty. Definatly part of the team come business time but genuinely off running his own race.

 

[Summer Nights]

I know guys like Archie. They appear reserved and well-mannered, but underneath the veneer is a party boy in disguise. I bet he has a strong social group from school.

He’s too sexy not to.

Robert Shaw coached him at BGS and loves him as a human....after draft said something like "get to know him and he'll give you everything."
Sounds like he might be a little more complex than some but not a dickhead. Feel like Shaw would have pretty low tolerance for those erring in that direction.

The world is a different place for people like Perkins......it's hard for Gods to relate to the inane trials and tribulations of mere mortals.

I mean I would...

 

[gillon]

He's a loose campaigner

Perkins is a kid with a lot of growing up to do. How bout we all let him do that without judgement?

Is pointing out that someone I respect doesn't think he's a dickhead judgement?

I don’t think Vanders was posting anything negative about Archie.

This is true lol. What I mean is that there’d be a social side to him with his mates we won’t get a glimpse of.

The opposite in fact

I saw it in Portsea once
