Player Watch #34: Jackson Archer - had Bailey Fritsch in his pocket vs Dees

[koshari]

It's clear that the weekly nomination is not always the best eligible player of the round, but often due to a reasonable run of form that justifies a nomination.

I think it's a reasonable approach - you can only win if nominated, and they need to ensure all players with a chance of winning are nominated.

Its a wanky American inspired con job anyway.

We've had Dugdales, Dwyers, Crockers, Pagans, McDonalds....probably missed some. They could play,
but they were not Ablett's, Hawkins, Scarlett's, Daicos's, Moore's, Ashcroft's...........

We're due some luck with f/sons.

Allison and Martyn went ok though.

 

[chubbspeterson]

Where the **** did that intercepting come from? Nearly fell off my chair. Heart and soul player.

I thought he showed that in the Noble era games. He was always peeling off his man to help his teammates.
We just haven't seen him play because of injuries (knock on wood).

 

[Danni_Benson]

Just looooove his 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th efforts!!

[Engimal v3]

Wtf he's actually good lol

 

[Possession]

Love him.

Did anyone predict this upside to date?

Considering his decision making and disposal are also tracking a bit better than expected, might even progress to more creative roles as times goes on?

 

[nicko74]

Coming along nicely

 

[kangatragic]

Showing so much more then I thought he was capable of.

They say “the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree”. This particular doesn’t seem to have even fallen. He’s the personification of Arch.

Do you remember what you said about Zurhaar's first game? Something about a player showing their ceiling in one or two of the best things they did even if the overall game wasn't great?

In his first few minutes of footy Jacko showed great attack on the ball and was able to read it well, attack and win the ball then use it well. Only did a few things but the way he did them was very classy.

I did I reckon a couple of years ago. I’ll have to go digging.

 

[Jonnoo]

May be the lockdown defender we’ve been looking for since, well since his old man (prob selling Scooter short here)

 

[The Maestro]

Wow. Didn’t think he would make it based off talent and exposed form as a junior, but just goes to show that hard work beats talent.

I hope his teammates can look at him and draw inspiration from it.

 

[Cool Kangas]

Love this kid.

 

[Ligma]

Marks the ball at the highest point. I love it

 

[amaz199]

He's in such good form I have full confidence if he attacks the footy he'll win it easily and launch our counter attack.

He was pivotal late in the game. Took some fantastic grabs and got some crucial contested possessions.

 

[KiwiRoo]

Must be hard to take as a forward when the defender who does a job on you looks like he's still at school

 

[justroyal]

Impressed by tidying up his disposal. Pretty much ruled him out of it last year for it, it’s really improved

 

[Caracas]

The best thing about Jackson is that he seems to bounce back stronger after setbacks. He did so again yesterday after an unlucky first quarter.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

I was a believer, but his last couple of weeks have blown me away.

Here's to getting even better.

 

[RossHenshaw]

who does he go to this week vs the Suns ?

 

[King Corey]

Dare I say, get his contract extension sorted?

 

[Caracas]

The best thing about Jackson is that he seems to bounce back stronger after setbacks. He did so again yesterday after an unlucky first quarter.

He was statless at the end of the first quarter and negative fantasy points. He finished up with a healthy 13 disposals, with solid tackle number (4).
