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

[koshari]

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

He gets 4 touches he is on par with kayno, he kicks a goal he passes mahony. Thats how low the bar is atm...

 

[Sticksphat]

What kind of players can he defend

What kind of players can he defend against?

Opposition ones

 

[gokangas]

Bits and pieces I have seen of him look just average but his old man had the greatest case of whiteline fever ever for an AFL player. Hope that the ones bring out the best in Jackson - good luck!!!!!!!

 

[czero]

Good luck young fella. Do your role, be brave, work hard.

 

[ferball]

I had some sawdust in my eye. Couldn't really see that properly.

ONya Jacko. Go hard son.

 

[Mav]

If Big Arch presenting the jumper to Little Arch doesn’t inspire the team to a win then they may as well all stay down in Tas and form the Devils and we can start again.

 

[Devington]

Cunners looked like a proud dad! lol

Pretty sure he full on teared up! You can see him wipe his eye with his top at one point.

 

[Mr Lloyd Christmas]

Congratulations Archer Jnr.

 

[Frank Thring]

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.

Nobody?

 

[Only Forwards]

Go well Jacko crack in hard.

Haven't seen 2 mins of him play. Same as you, I hope he does his job, makes his team mates lives easier and shows glimpses that he might yet be a bargain.

 

[outwecome2play]

Love these moments. Go get them kid.

 

[shinboner magic]

Good luck young arch - go get em

 

[bennymate]

Congrats mate! You'll smash it.

 

[KangaRooster]

I wonder if he’ll put in for the jumper lol

Give ‘em hell son

The Bar was set by Arch.

 

[DuckYeah]

this is not a kid of Gavin Brown.. this is Archers kid.. This is Glenns boy, wow! What a moment for the club and our supporters.. lets be honest, he is not going to gather 25 of half back and put it down throats. He’ll hitbhard and be a competitor, as a raw 18 year old of he walks off 40/60.. thats enough son.

 

[Kanga Glory]

Bloody brilliant , had a limp n the throat when he was talking to dad (Glenn).
Love this stuff.

 

[tales129]

Was there the day his old man finished up at footy park. Tears in the eyes.

Same shit today for a completely different reason.

**** this club hits differently than others doesnt it!

 

[danj]

As long as he doesn’t get snapped in half he’ll be ok

Same s**t today for a completely different reason.

That was a truly awful day - Was there as well. The man deserved a better send off.

Godspeed, Jackson. Give it your all.

 

[AnEmptyChair]

**** stoked for Jacko and that was an unreal video from Glenn. This is the first time nmfc have made me feel genuinely old

oh, and a hearty **** you to every disgraceful campaigner that said that he was only on the list because of who his old man is, and went on about favours and yada yada. seriously, you know who you are - none of you campaigners deserve to celebrate this moment one iota

 

[Jonnoo]

Making me feel old seeing the son of Arch pulling on the guernsey. Great watching new generations of Roo boys coming through.

 

[The Y Factor]

Agreed, I'm just more pointing out that he isn't knocking the door down.

Up until the previous game, he wasn't all that different to being a VFL version of Turner.

He essentially is a Turner.

He has been asked to play lockdown roles all year in the back line.

He’s not going to get many possessions but he’s been recognised so he must have effective in the jobs he’s been given.

 

[murray wrensted]

Awesome
