#21 Archie Roberts - thru 2026

Plenty of time to fix that.

But Hobbs is the bbm we need…

We can’t say with any certainty how much time in the 2’s was the right amount for that player, we can have an opinion for sure and it can’t be disproven but we can’t know.
What we can say for certain is Roberts is producing right now. I think you, me and Scott would all be pleased with that.

Unlucky not to get the rising star nomination this week

Pretty cool bit of stats for Archie.
A very very exciting prospect for the future.

One of the few real positives to come from the season :ok_hand:

He got the ball 22 times a game, thats the reason his turnovers were high for rising stars.

There’s roughly 17 stat categories and rankings in that screenshot but all you care about is one of two ‘poor’ stats

Nice

I didn’t realise there was an Archie Roberts who played for Essendon in the 30s. Died in the Second World War. 184cm defender tallied 12 games for us.

His agressive/attacking kicking (which I like) is part of the reason for those numbers also. We have enough players who are risk averse, stunting offense chipping sideways and backwards.

I love that Archie was given the number 21 after our club legend. I think it shows the faith they have with this kid.

Thanks Dodoro for listening to Lloydy on selecting this Kid.

Pro tip for new Blitzers. All bad picks = Dodoro. All good picks = literally anyone else.

And also, RFK is equally, or more, to blame for all Dodoro’s screwups.

we should have given him number #18

Yep, he should be gone too.

Why? For not being able to overrule the deadshit’s whims? he would have been gone if he had tried.
