[trooroo4life]

Jeez this is brilliant. Go well Jacko.

 

[sutcliffe's hotel]

Thrilled for you Jackson. Will be cheering you on & hoping you have a debut to cherish.

Fairly confident you know the words to our victory song.

 

[GMAN63]

Fantastic! Great to have some Archer DNA out there. Go well Jacko.

 

[NYRB]

And Glenn Archer epitomised the North Melbourne shinboner spirit- something that has been missing for a while at North. Bringing in the young kid , might be a sign of hope or some spirit being brought back into the club.

And with the season gone anyway, its probably the right decision /time to blood in the young kids.

 

[leighlee13]

Something to smile about. Brought a tear to my eye seeing Arch so emotional. Good luck Jackson. Be your own man and make your Dad and the club proud

 

[The Nostradamus]

Nobody on this board seems to rate him, so I hope he proves all doubters wrong this weekend. The club certainly seems impressed by his repeat efforts, I hope he brings that fighting Archer spirit to the game, lord knows we need the inspiration.

Don’t know if it’s not rate him but more so most think he’s just not ready, he’s a stick and his VFL performances show that he’s not quite there yet

 

[zoomba23]

Everything I've read about him suggests he's not ready for the senior level yet. Obviously I hope he goes well but I think, without being a fly on the wall within the club, that there's a fair chance this will go down as another example of North's trademark poor player management

I have never said a word against him as I have not seen him play a lot. I am just thrilled he gets a chance to show what he is made of. Can't wait to see him play

 

[Chadwiko]

Seeing the Shinboner of the Century get emotional hits HARD.

 

[muttley45]

Go get 'em Jacko, been knocking on the door getting named emergency back to back, but looks like it has now given way, silence the doubters.

 

[Hearts to hearts]

I do not want to hear from anyone who wants to say he isn’t ready. Can we please just accept he has worked to earn it and roll with the emotion of this.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

100% willing to back him in, can't wait to see what he brings to the side.

Seeing Arch tear up like that, bloody hell, it's special.

 

[DuckYeah]

Don’t worry about an Archer. Write off an Archer at your own peril.

 

[The Filth Wizard]

The kid doesn’t need to do any more than hit the ball and hit his opponent hard but that’s DNA.

 

[DuckYeah]

He’s a ****ing Archer! You cannot teach that, you can’t mimic it, you cannot be anything. This is a kid of the Shinboner of the Century. ****ing stoked! Come on Junior.. lets ****ing goo. Tell ya what, he is not going to be injured in the first quarter.

 

[ArchKing Carey]

You can feel how excited the group is. There feels like a lot of unity. You even get to see the great man Cunners with a grin.

Cunners looked like a proud dad! lol

 

[ArchKing Carey]

Cunners looked like a proud dad! lol

I don't know, the energy in the room feels great after the bye. The bye wasn't just for them but I feel my mood has changed to optimistic after the bye too.

These are the things that make me absolutely love this club. The way Cunners pushes his way in to get to Jackson is beautiful to watch. Even JHF looks pumped!

 

[king rising]

Good luck young fella, won’t scrimp on the effort side of things that’s for sure.

 

[giantroo]

Ducking hell, who cut the onions?!

 

[leighlee13]

But isnt it nice they are happy tears

Oh FFS..

 

[koshari]

Good luck to him. Just crack in.
