Love the comment “and if I keep playing to the best of my ability, I’ll take this team forward,”. We need a few with this level of confidence/arrogance.

Please recruit more competitive blokes like Archie.

At such a young age, he could be anything.

I see similar traits in our 2024 draftees, and this augers well

Absolutely love that he said that he wants to be an important player for us, and he knows that if he plays well he will drive the team forward.

So this. Some of our players look proper scared to show a bit of mongrel.

Has anyone made the Mark Thompson comparison yet?

Yeah, I can see that. I was also thinking a Hodge type

Someone buy Lloyd a Cruiser. Archie’s a legit gun.

Yeah the comparison to Mark has already been made, but he also reminds me of Bomber Thompson.

Like to give a bit of lip, and has a nasty streak in him. Gotta love him

That’s because the media only know first round draft picks.

Na. I love Archie but he is not having a better year than Murphy Reid or Harvey Langford. Perhaps on par with Levi Ashcroft.

He has a high disposal count but that’s because our current game plan involves keepings off in the back half.

The betting market is usually a good indication of where things are at.

The fact he’s second favourite with the bookies is very impressive

Dont agree sorry.
Harvey Langford averages 1 tackle a game and has been butchering the ball in the games ive seen. Going at 67% DE.

Reid I havnt seen alot of so fair play if he is ahead of Roberts, looking at his numbers though I cant see how he would be ahead of Archie.

Roberts gets alot of the footy but is also very very composed for his experience, and attacks the ball and man ferociously.

How the ■■■■ does the Rising star not have this kids name engraved on it yet.
