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

[Jebus]

That spoil he juuuust missed at the end where he ran off his man would have been HUGE. 110% effort every single contest, love it.

 

[Horizons_00]

Kept lucosious to 6 disposals?

 

[Gorman2Geister]

I have never, ever been more wrong about a player. Thought he was worse than Joel Crocker. Boy am I glad I know nothing. He is amazing.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Give him more than 2 years next time…


Seriously, the rate of improvement from him has been nothing short of astonishing. Like Kal, I originally didn’t think he had it in him last year. Proved me quite wrong and I am happy about it.

 

[RightWingRoo]

Has to be his week for a rising star nom!
Jacko was brilliant today, keeps improving with every game. The Archer genes are strong, maniac at the contest like his old man was.

Yep and not one other player on our list would even think of trying to do that.

some guy named Bunson Church or something will pop up with 3 joe the goose goals and clinch it from him, I bet

 

[Lomas]

I’m just becoming more an more bullish about a strong VFL program. Both he and Xerri had really good patches there that they are reaping the benefits from now.

 

[Caracas]

Yep, so unlucky. He was so much like his dad at that moment!

Needs a gif, his closing speed was crazy. No player had a right to cut that off but he got obscenely close.

 

[Hojuman]

Should we move him forward ?

 

[Gumble Frankieton]

Can play.

Totally agree I think we may just see the same when young Harvey gets his chance as well.

You sure it won’t be Cedrick Ollingston from the Swans? I dunno who that is but I’m sure he is on their list.

Iam actually beginning to forget who Gavin brown is.

And maniacs win you games, when the pressure is at it's hottest in September.

Classy ball users are always touted as the big pieces in your premiership team.

Yes thats all well and good, but you need animals. Maniac ball hunters and ruthless defenders. Without a Mick Martyn or Glenn Archer you have no flag.

I’m glad the maniacs are back.

Archers usage has been pretty solid, might sneak into the classy user category as well.

 

[Jonnoo]

He doesn’t half arse anything, everything is at full rat power

Shame Arch didn't have anymore sons

 

[Friday Night Lights]

He and Goater will be a great tandem for mixing and matching on small/medium forwards. Heck he might even release Goater further up field.

 

[Liam Boy]

11 disposals at 100% efficiency today. He doesn't take particularly dangerous options but the execution is there.

We need a maniac pressure small forward to round it out

 

[Fish Sticks]

Has there ever been a father son that plays more like their old man than Archer?
Whilst he has a long way to go to reach the lofty heights of Glenn, his life or death approach to every single contest will hold him in good stead, much like it did for his Dad.
