Piss off with your good news, that shit doesn't belong around here.

Really pleased with Jacksons progress. Looks very confident out there, knows what his job is.

Might not have had alot of the ball, but gee, he looked like he knew what to do with it or give it off to our advantage. Shame he hasn't had all year.

It's nice to see a defender in our defense for once too, hey. Hey actually stuck with his player and didn't just zone off and point fingers. Revolutionary.

 

[RightWingRoo]

Jacko is another one who seems like a genuinely driven young bloke. Like Bailey, others are more talented but they'll get the best out of themselves.

Needs to be a prerequisite when drafting, find guys who really f***ing want it.

 

[amaz199]

Can pick up the ball with one hand.

I'm sold.

 

[hellas_johnny]

100% efficiency. Been watching him since he came back from injury in vfl he's definitely worked on his kicking last season were alot of mistakes this year not many at all. If fit needs to play the rest of the season as that lockdown defender

Did himself a mischief overtraining in the pre-season.

 

[Horizons_00]

Glad he’s ok. I love the way he goes about it.

Really cracks in.

 

[RightWingRoo]

Did himself a mischief overtraining in the pre-season.

Lesson learned for him and the club hopefully. Find the right balance this pre-season.
But he seems to want to make sure he's fit and strong enough to play AFL footy. Unfortunately some team mates haven't been as invested, and still look underdeveloped.

Jackson Archer has been cleared of a hamstring strain after reporting tightness following the game.

He had a massive limp going in at half time. He may have been cleared of the hamstring but I think there is more to it. I don't think he was selected for the seniors team this week? If thats the case it can only be due to injury.

 

[Masked Avenger]

Archer just plugs into our defence with his tenacity.

He's one I don't worry about.

Unlike some of his teammates back there, he's athletic enough to block space and impact opposition forward structures.

I'm optimistic about him.

On the extended bench. The team will be finalised at 5pm today.

 

[hellas_johnny]

In the team so obviously fine. Loves a tackle

He had a fall and smashed his hip. He'll be right.

 

[King Corey]

Like him. Has a more reasoned intensity, like Scott Thompson than the pure fury his dad could play with.

 

[JGreezy]

What a game from Jackson! Showed heart and went the ball. Some great contested marks.

Leave him in the side, please. He needs a chance to ride the ups and downs. He's going to be a great player because he works hard and plays even harder.

 

[Ischenko]

This kid is one piece of the backline puzzle. Some inspiring efforts today. Archer Goater Bergman Logue — there’s hope.

 

[the big lebowski]

Went for a mark and looked exactly like his dad with the way he held and moved his body.

 

[bhoysdontcry67]

We have a player.

Played well today. That mark was brilliant

 

[ferball]

Onya Jacko.

 

[Elite Master]

We have a player.

Played well today. That mark was brilliant

Had flashed backs of his old man watching him backing back with the flight of the ball like that. Already one of our better defenders. Has a bright future.

 

[czero]

Its funny isn't it, this kid genuinely got to the club because of his name - not really a chance getting drafted his draft year by anyone.

You just have to tip your hat at the kid, in such a short period to radically improved in all aspects of his game. Love it.

 

[amaz199]

Give him number 11.
