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

[Waynesworld]

Will replace Turner with possession counts like that.

Not if he can’t do the slow down wave properly

Recent post by the club in relation to the squad naming and the innuendo around “a young too featuring for first time”

Is this a shameless media/marketing ploy as how bad we’re ? Or about the game attendance on Sunday ?

From the 3 games I’ve seen of archer in the VFL, he seems at least two years away of being a standard afl player, however he is a competitor. Is the club rewarding him for playing a role really well ?
Can’t remember how many goals his opponents have scored but potentially is that the reason for his emergency selections ?

 

[The acurate one]

People will be sitting around campfires all over the world in years to come lamenting the mysterious Charlie Dean….

“Oh Charlie Dean, what might have been, you came from Willi, were never seen, by those people who called your name, despite the fact, it was all in vain…….who are you really, Charlie Dean?….”

Wow Michael that was beautiful, goodness me.
I didn’t realise how much you are like that artist that cut his ear off .


Think his name was either Mark or Vincent

Hoping we see young Arch in this week. By all reports he has played his role at vfl level and should be rewarded

 

[hellas_johnny]

Doesn't get many touches but wears his man like a glove. Funny considering his dad wore a glove at the end of his career

And was a man!!!

2 years away from being AFL standard?

Doesn’t that net a 3 year contract and possible leadership group around here these days?

 

[Twinkletoes]

Ready or not it looks like he’s going to be playing sooner or later (likely this week) so, with that in mind, I just hope he does his job well and doesn’t get Bergmannned. Go well young fella!

 

[King Corey]

Hasn't exactly shot the lights out in the VFL but can't do any worse than 2-3 blokes in the senior 22.

Give him a go, he might even surprise. We should be exposing every fit player on the list to AFL this year to get some accelerated insight into their potential.

 

[shinboner magic]

VFL footy looks to quick for him , god help him and us if he gets a game

 

[Frank Thring]

He would get slaughtered in the AFL. Not sure what game the MC is playing but he is not ready and may never be.

 

[Go_Roos!]

Just play him, it's simple his Dad is Glen Archer. Let this circus continue!

 

[Usayed Givashe]

Love it.

Just to remind you good folk, Josh Walkers, Lachy Youngs and Kayne Turners are locks, we are not exactly setting a real high bar down there.

If you hadn’t noticed.

 

[BlueandWhiteinmyBlood]

Not expecting much from Arch but you never know, some guys play better at a higher level.

 

[Engimal v3]

Good on him, hope he goes well.

Anyone else reckon there's an element of positive PR in him being selected this week? Seems a bit out of the blue otherwise

 

[ArchKing Carey]

I think we need to find out how he goes against better opposition. Its a nothing year. I'd give everyone a go at some point

 

[Its a Process]

If he is quick and brave it can't too much of a downgrade from Turner.

 

[Mr Lloyd Christmas]

If he is quick and brave it can't too much of a downgrade from Turner.

Pretty sure it's actually impossible to be a downgrade from Turner.

 

[koshari]

Not if he can’t do the slow down wave properly

Even Kayno only gets to do it one or 2 times a game these days.

Would love to of heard the match committee when bringing up young arch getting a game.

Dude… our whole team gets slaughtered in the AFL.

 

[Mr Lloyd Christmas]

Dude… our whole team gets slaughtered in the AFL.

I agree.

People have this "they mightn't be ready to perform" mentality when we are a complete and utter basket case with half a team that parade as AFL footballers.

It's weird, i'd give anyone including Archer Jnr, McGuinness a shot purely because why not?

Yeh this is the hope, Arch goes zen and replaces Turners.

Dreamy stuff.

Dad wasn't all that great when he started and look how he turned out...Hopefully DNA means something..

Jackson Archer put together his best performance in a North jumper in his short career. While he finished with just 12 disposals and two tackles, he showed brilliant poise when on the ball along with his trademark ferocity on the defensive side.


Archer was, once again, named as an emergency for the AFL side this week as he looks to close in on a long-awaited AFL debut.


"'Jacko' is just a competitor, and you just see that whenever he's on the ground and that's why he's been so consistent in the last month or five weeks or so," Adams said.


"He does everything he can for the team and it seems to be working out really well for him. You think he'd be getting close to a senior game if he continues to go the way he's going."
