A serious chance of winning the rising star award at the end of the season if he keeps stacking games like this.

He seems like a cool head, but playing in that backline next to McKay and McGrath will change that

On track to win the AFL Rising Star with games like tonight

I really like this kid, gave him a vote but he’s very one sided & really needs to stop calling for it in certain positions if he’s not willing to use his right boot - I get a bit of Heppell/Kelly PTSD with the stop, prop, look backwards/sideways to always find his left. Otherwise, really solid game and love his endeavour.

I wanna see Nguyen playing in the same backline as this gem, reckon they will complement each other well

Over taken McGrath.

The enforcer.

Feels like he has played 2 or 3 seasons not a handful of games.

I hope our development program doesn’t impact him too much.

Need a few more players like Archie, absolute competitor with skill.

Not getting enough love around here for my liking, absolute beauty this kid.

Love seeing him mouth off to the likes of Boak, Parker ect.

These are Archies games so far this year. He is averaging 23 touches a game plus pretty clean with the ball. Going at over 80% since round 2. He has got it. I reckon next year or so can probably start moving into the midfield.
I got onto him at $67 for the rising star. If he keeps going like this surely he has got to be a chance. Also doesn’t shirk a contest.

I’m a Archie fan. Thinking of making him one of my boys but one thing he needs to clean up is his kicking ( stats will probably prove me wrong )

No midfield move please. 10 years of dependable with Reid off hb please.

This 100%. Not everyone needs to be a midfielder.
We certainly aren’t desperate for another 6 foot mid.

Killing it off HB

Love Archie, those stats read so well! But I agree keep him in the backline, we need more quality down there.

Jay Clark (I think) on Fox asked Reid about Roberts’ interaction with Rioli, and Reid wasn’t aware. Anyone know what this actually was? All I heard was it was a Bomber.

Rioli apparently told Archie he “knew where he lived” and then said the wrong suburb. Rioli’s pretty dumb for a would-be thug

Keep him where he is, he is great at what he does and will only get better. Not every player needs to be a midfielder.

Sorry but no mate, you can pick apart errors from every player that ever lived.

This bloke is going incredibly well and his kicking is more than fine. He has played like 10 games but no one would ever think that if they didn’t know. Plays like a veteran already.
