Are you thinking in a similar vein to Ryan O'Keefe?

More of a fitter version of young Dusty and Danger. ... there I said it.

As others have said, way more value floating between centre/half forward. Looks to be another level already. That sidestep will get him many goals.

Our midfield has a bit of depth now so only midfield if absolutely required.

While he’s strong through the hips I don’t think he quite has the frame of a Dusty/Dangerfield/Petracca type.

Think he’s more Heeney x Ryan Griffen

 

[naraku]

Has been one of the few shining lights today.


Still shouldn't of cut his hair...

 

[Shane Heard]

That marvellous side step brings me great joy..

 

[brain taylor]

obviously wants a spot in the midfield more than the blokes who are in it

 

[fairbump_playon]

Looks classier with the ball this year now he is a bit fitter and stronger

 

[Bunk Moreland]

This bloke is really good

 

[Seb78]

Love him! Just play him in the midfield as much as possible 188cm, strong in the hips, good user and footy smarts.

With Langford out and Stringer sorely need to play more minutes fwd than ever, i think he'll have to.

 

[Halftimehero]

Brilliant first half but went missing after half time, needs to find more consistency in games.

 

[brutus76]

Had a fair dinkum crack - could still put on a couple of kegs

Hair is still 3/10

But he's OUR BOY (Big Footy Player Sponsored player #2)

 

[ant555]

Sums it up.
Got some midfield minutes in the second half but looked much more dangerous playing high half forward.

 

[yaco55]

Feel that he will have a game this year in which he will dominate - I'm liking the signs.

 

[brain taylor]

lock him down this kid's gonna be a star

 

[Kakkle]

Loved that he almost seemed angry that he kicked that goal. Get out while you can. You'll waste a career at Essendon.

 

[Beerfish]

Can hold his head high.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

****ing awesome game.

Just a ripper to watch.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Jet. Get him in the midfield

 

[Punter88]

Did I read it right - he only had something like 11 disposals?
WHat the hell
felt like he got the ball so much more

just shows how effective he is

we ****ed up 3 picks but at least 2 landed 1.

 

[The Prosecutor]

Everything he touched turned to gold.

 

[JT_the_Man]

He’s got it.

 

[naraku]

Again, one of the few shining lights. Archie's game tonight and half against Geelong has me buoyant about what he might actually be- a genuine star!

 

[faible]

Looks like he’ll be an absolute jet. You can see he’s nowhere near the finished product but already has ‘it’.
