#44 - Archer Day Wicks

Tracking pretty well for a rookie selection. Has some tools to work with.

Absolutely horrendous handpass to no-one at one point but I did for the first time see a couple of neat little skills from him which I liked. He seems to be quite mobile, agile, quick to turn/move/pivot and quick to get boot to ball. Reminds me of Snelling in those attributes.

Absolutely loved his kick off the wing to Setterfield at CHF in the 4th qtr. Lead to a Duursma mark and goal.

Dunno why, not sold on him yet, need to see more game time.

I saw a lot this week that I hadn’t seen in his other games. His disposal had been terrible, but nailed it this week. I would give him a few more games to get used to the speed of AFL footy. Maybe the sub role helped him because he came on after the game had slowed down a bit.

I’m the same, I didn’t understand why he got the call up yet, and haven’t seen it since his debut.

I’ve seen a lot more in Clarke and Johnson so far, and maybe I’m comparing the 3 of them too much.

In saying that, there could be a player there and I’m really happy he has been given the opportunity.

Either way 4+ games in season one as a rookie is a great result. Will hit the pre-season hard and see a better version of him in 2026.

No, not it. panic merchant.

Genuinely looks like he snuck on to the ground from the stands. Needs a lot more time in the twos

I’d rather see Davey instead of him. He is horrible.

Ridiculous that he can get a run of game but the guy getting forty in the vfl can’t

Didn’t carry amazing form from the VFL into the seniors, but I guess this is a trade off from playing the kids.

Are you his player sponsor

If he isn’t I think we should all chip in to make it happen.
