Not what I've heard...

Shrugs

Only going off limited first hand - which is all I have. I honestly wouldn't know enough to comment outside that either way and I wouldn't.

The only thing that’ll bring a bigger smile to my face is if he nails someone and flys the flag in his first game..
go get ‘em jackson

He will not take a backward step that’s for sure. If he has to go all in, you just know he will!

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

Go well, Jackson

Im not a North Melbourne supporter but I shed a tear in my eye when he called his dad Glenn. Sometimes the emotion gets to us neutral supporters as well.

Will watch him play with some eagerness.

Call me a bit of an emotional fairy but I have now watched that clip 3 times as a neutral supporter and I shed a tear each time.

How did you fit a limp in your throat?

Does sound like another one of those DILF posts

This is one of the smartest and best things the club has done in years. I know some people criticised his drafting and selection but at a time when footy seems like packaged, manipulative corporate shit this stuff reminds people what its really about.

Arch sr wasn't just rough and tough onfield. He was courageous - going by the AFLPA award he is officially the bravest player in the game since the AFL started. He put himself in harms way time and again. That's why we love him so much. Everyone involved in footy loves seeing this emotion from him. Its good for us when we've had so much negative media recently too because it cuts right thru that shit, reminds everyone what footy is about and ... yet again ... we're the ones showing that to people.

Great to see JMac's famous number back on the field.

The kids got ticker!

 

[ferball]

How gutsy is this kid!!

 

[Gumble Frankieton]

Good start from the young bloke. Just needs to kick it a bit longer.

He has looked at home. Couple of marks, kicks, handballs. Hands are sharp. Plus getting in there flying the flag.

He is doing more than Thomas at this stage which is a blight against Thomas given the differential in experience. Jackson just wants it more IMO

He needs a major cracker up his arse. Lift your work rate or piss off back to the twos.

 

[the flying ham]

I'll take Archer over half a dozen blokes in the seniors who would rather sniff their own farts than have a genuine crack

Flew the flag and played with more courage than most out of this gutless team, and made his mistakes but picked himself up and went at it again to get some positives out of his game.

Plays next week.

Yep - good effort.

 

[hotchilli]

Tries hard, skills are a massive red flag and will need to improve if he's going to make it as an AFL footballer.

Should hold his spot for next week.

 

[hellas_johnny]

Any other good youngsters this week? Possible cheeky rising star nomination?

 

[Devington]

Just needs to kick long or look for the quick handball. Do that regularly and he'll buy himself plenty of time to continue improving
