#21 Archie Roberts - thru 2026

I thought that in the game where everybody was going nuts over him a few wks back. Isn’t clean enough for senior level yet.

you probably drop hobbs, slot roberts in at hbf/bp, move martin up the ground

He’s played the season on wing.
That sounds like a terrible way to debut a young bloke

hes played his entire junior career as a back flank

It would seem the club sees him as a winger since thats where hes played since we drafted him.

Yes (well he also played some wing in juniors but let’s not nitpick).

He’s been playing wing and doing an amazing job. Debuting him as a back pocket just seems silly.

Think he played a couple off half back at the start of the season, played very well too

yeh brev, but i said hbf/bp. not just bp

Which doesn’t change the point in the slightest, I guess you do want to go the nitpick route.
It’s still not where he’s been playing at VFL level. Not exactly setting him up for success

you started the nitpick

I dont know, seems like hes been trained wing since we picked him.

I don’t think pointing out you’re suggesting playing him in the seniors in a role he’s not currently playing and isn’t the one that would be getting him promoted is potentially setting him up for failure is a nit-pick.

He looks great. If we decide to try Martin up forward, you could do alot worse than this kid.

That is the only reason he would be out.
