Hahaha, Jackson’s dad - love this! Jackson really is a chip off the old block, I keep having flashbacks to the 90’s, especially the way he flies for marks - just like Glenn. The hatred of getting beaten is there too. Love him.

He plays more like his old man every time he runs out onto the ground.

Stuff this. Next time I go to training I'm bringing my Glen Archer autographed jumper and Jacko can add his name to it.

 

[RHLK]

The old chook loved Glenn Archer and had me take her to watch North train at Subiaco Oval in the great man's last season. Like the generous human and fan fave he was, Arch was posing for photos till the bitter end, including one with his greatest admirer.

The old chook, against the odds, was at Marvel Saturday, in probably one of her last forays interstate, and sounded like an excited kid on the phone, after the victory. Hoping my bro can get a photo of her with Jacko Jnr this week at training before her return to WA.

Wheel of life. Father/son. Kick arse.

Just having a joke after Jacko played so well. My dog is named after Glenn (Archie) for the record.

 

[Blightys Barrel]

Bet you he shakes hands with either Cripps or Ryan again. He is has improved heaps since that first match when he got Ryan’s measure. Now to back it up again.

 

[amaz199]

Completely refuses to allow the ball out of his vicinity and does everything he can to win it back.

There was a contest where he handballed to space and then chased his own ball to clear the 50. Does. Not. Give. Up.

Shinboner.

Ha, did someone say Kevin Bartlett lol

 

[Hearts to hearts]

It's a special feeling watching him because he has a thirst for the contest just like dad. He's a clone in that regard. Was great hearing my son Archie(Arch) rap him up all game too.

I was also there with my son Archie (Arch). Probably a few of us?

That makes it at least three BF members with sons called Archie. (Not me, I have daughters.)

Archette?
We have all girls as well, I did suggest Archie for a boys name but it was never meant to be

I like how he beat his man back to the contest, then runs Kerch's man off the line of the ball (Kerch was trailing his man in) pops the handball expecting LMac to run off, and when he doesn't, runs around Lmac and Dusty to collect it himself. Covers his other defenders backsides.

 

[Frank Thring]

I love watching Archer play. Tough and skillful. Who would have thought.

 

[King Corey]

Don't know why, I just don't see his dad when I watch him. Has always felt a different style to me. Almost more Martin Pike

(as a defender) in his play for mine.

I get the vibe though because of the intensity of course. But Glenn was barrel chested, unhinged at times and rabid.

Jackson to me is this measured kid who will execute instructions with full focus and aggression for his team. More Scott Thompson-ish in his emotional control than Archer Sr.

[roos_fanatic08]

didn't realise but he is still eligible for a rising star nom...could be a sneaky chance this week.

Has a nice ring to it.

Nice comparison KC.

 

[R00StaR]

He's improved out of sight, i wasnt sure if he'd have the wheels for AFL but he's improved that as well. One of the first picked now.

Left is Glenn.

Could you imagine the ball of muscle that Jacko would need to be be to be rolling out at 97kgs

That would be around comparative height to weight. To do that in the modern game Jacko would have a Wines, Powell-Pepper, Petracca, Martin type physique.

Jacko is clearly more slight than that.

If he had more size perhaps he would be more barrel chested.

That said I don't really care, he doesn't need to be a carbon copy and he has the intensity, the courage and the hard work.

Those three things will be the basis that takes him far.

 

[Rooniversity]

Yep he's a different player to his dad and that's also how it should be. He's his own man.
Just love seeing the same father/son intensity.

Xerri only 2 votes? Not sure about LDU either. Yes he was good but there were a few costly turnovers too.

My one year old son is named Finnian, but surprisingly not actually named after Finnbar Malley.

Makes sense, you wouldn't have given him a different name to Finnbar if you were going to name him after Finnbar.
