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

[koshari]

backs himself, occasionally gets beaten but just goes and goes again and again,

 

[amaz199]

Absolute gun.

 

[Aberration]

His ceiling is way higher than I first thought, and shows genuine improvement every game.
During that 10 minute patch in the 2nd, he was everywhere.
Awesome game.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

His confidence with his overhead marking is growing by the minute. Genuine interceptor now.

 

[viccles]

Love this guy

 

[ferball]

That patch in the second. Another 50 games he'll do that all day.

 

[LETSGOKANGAS]

Who else feels like crying seeing Arch throw his body at every contest?

Love this suprise packet cause honestly prior to the bye had him pencilled in as a "wouldnt make any AFL list"

 

[Nylex]

Thought he was best on ground in first half

 

[RightWingRoo]

Gets his RS nomination this week surely!

 

[the big lebowski]

Gets his RS nomination this week surely!

If he doesn’t I say we follow Roy Kents advice.

We go to each member of the selection panels house at 3am. We break into their bedroom. We take out rope covered in red paint. And then we start hitting them with the rope. After a minute we stop and start laughing like an evil crazy person. Then we recommence hitting them with the rope.

 

[The acurate one]

Has certainly exceeded expectations of the entire group, maybe those calling him a star after ten games were correct, although throw enough darts...

Nah he's been great, happy to be wrong.

[Mr north man]

Gets his RS nomination this week surely!

Think his played too many games to get the nod but he’s n today performance all I can say is
Exceptional

He was brilliant today!
Seems to find another level every week.

Jacko had only played 8 games before this year and was 21 in January, so he's still eligible to be nominated.

 

[amaz199]

Anyone got footage of that huge tackle?

That was a man possessed. Love him.

 

[Kanga Glory]

 

[guapo]

Signed a contract and then lifted to a new level. Son of a great, making his own name for himself. Really rapt for the kid

 

[Roo Beauty]

GUN.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

His confidence with his overhead marking is growing by the minute. Genuine interceptor now.

20 disposals at 75%, 5 tackles, 8 marks (2 contested) and 8 intercept possessions, and largely blanketed Bolton.

 

[Devski]

No Jacko, No win today.

Another scalp claimed from a “damaging” fwd.

Next year he’s 22, and with another preseason he will be that little bit faster and a little stronger.

We think this year is a break out, but I’m hopeful the true breakout is next year and he starts embarrassing the whole league

 

[muttley45]

Great game Arch, sooner, rather than later, a few small forwards won't be looking forward to having him as an opponent

 

[r00boy96]

I watched him at Park Orchards in his juniors and the only thing that stood out was his Valyrian blonde hair.

This kid must have worked so hard to get to where he is. Love him.

 

[BlueRoos]

For me, he is in that 10 to 15th player selected each week. That is a fair effort for a 21 yo kid who has played just 20 games. Lots of upside, give me his and Xerri's heart/relentless will to win any day of the week.

 

[Devington]

Has good games and bad games, but now has ****ing great games too. Has improved by leaps and bounds this year and it's so great to see.

 

[Psychic Roo]

20 disposals at 75%, 5 tackles, 8 marks (2 contested) and 8 intercept possessions, and largely blanketed Bolton.

The tackle for htb was electric.
