Player Watch #34: Jackson Archer - re-signed until end of 2026 (afl.com.au)

[Clarke is King]

Has to get the rising star nom

 

[leighlee13]

Rising star maybe

That would be awesome

 

[speedy]

He had always been a beautiful mark of the ball.


I’d say so. I still think those 183-188cm lead up forwards are his best bet. Don’t think he has the agility to go with the real zippy & slippery small forwards like Charlie Cameron & Bobby Hill

Bobby hill had 10 disposals and kicked 5.0 from 5 marks, 2 of which were pack marks. He played like a lead up forward and seemed to always have a paddock to work in. He had a day out and nobody in our team would have faired better than Arch. He is still the right match up going forward, just needed more heat from his teammates up field… and 30-50 games more experience won’t hurt either.

What a game this boy had. Had real tenacity. Long career ahead

 

[LuvtheKangas]

Strong marking was a feature (one of many) of Glenn's game. To now, I didn't dare hope that Jacko would also be a good mark of the footy. But now that hope lives.

 

[Its a Process]

He's 187cm, reckon with his tenacity and closing speed we could risk him on taller opponents as well.

His old man had the ability to play on resting ruckman and small forwards and terrorize them equally.

Matthew Richardson would still have nightmares about Arch beating him up lol.

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.

We sure are. Jesse Smith unluckiest of all,
he could have been anything

It's more like the ones we didn't land really, Blakey, Kelly, a couple of Brayshaw's, even Spargo

My mum's German Rollmop. Haven't seen you in a longtime !

 

[Rooniversity]

Definitely plays taller than his actual height, his dad did too as has been noted.

Now there’s a can of worms

No, Brisbane’s Logan Morris.

No, Brisbane’s Logan Morris.

Sad reacts only. No real surprise, back pockets don't get the plaudits.

Jacko might yet win a Norm Smith. His dad won his because of his courage and intent not his skill (tho he had skill. don't get me wrong.) Jacko has the same qualities.

Morris has been pretty good for a few weeks.

 

[muttley45]

Jacko's on the radar now, it's only a matter of when not if he gets a RS nom

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

I’m really appreciating Jimmy’s shoot from hip, to hell with the consequences commentary.

Mine is Polish - always a jar of them in our fridge growing up!

 

[hellas_johnny]

Morris 2 goals and an assist from 9 touches in a shellacking gets the nomination? What a rort

 

[Possession]

One of the best parts of his game on the weekend was that it was a response to his towelling by Hill. Resilience and drive. Can't wait to see how he goes against Weightman.

You need to meet Ligma. Our Polish / Filipino Champion

Morris 2 goals and an assist from 9 touches in a shellacking gets the nomination? What a rort

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.
