Damn. Was hoping he'd keep the locks

Looks like he's chosen serious footballer over the high school larrikin persona. But it's still weird

 

[Beerfish]

Like it.

LOOK AT HIM!

Yeah look, I’m a 30 year old bloke, and I think I’m pregnant now

 

[Milanista28]

Wasn't sure until I heard him speak a few times but I think he's got that inner drive to be the best he can.

*, what a relief

 

[Keystone agony]

Only did ~50% of last year's Pre Season

 

[owen87]

Only did ~50% of last year's Pre Season

I think that's quite common, from memory I don't think any new draftees do 100% of the pre-season training load

 

[Keystone agony]

I think that's quite common, from memory I don't think any new draftees do 100% of the pre-season training load

Yeh no they don't. Or very rarely

But I'd think 80% would be the aim and alot more common

Didn't realise he had a few setbacks last PS

 

[staaation]

gosh he's pretty

Let's just hope it's not like that time Jon Bon Jovi got a haircut

It is normally a bit higher than 50% as you say. Last year was different because of the lack of football and base training . It was more of a gradual build. Thankfully the boys we drafted kept themselves in very good nick which helped a lot despite a few issues with the increased workload.

Looks like Jack Steele, walks like Jack Steele, hopefully becomes Jack steele

Hope you are right but I have never seen the outright physicality in Archie's game that is in Jack's game.
Archie tends to be a bit more x factor move rather than just brute force. Not that it is a bad trait to be a bit more X factor.

U571 is some of his best work.
