The more Archie Roberts types we can get the quicker we can build a list that can contend

 

[ghostdog]

How high is Archie Roberts' ceiling? Love his poise when the heat rises. He has Edge TM.

 

[naraku]

Again, what a steal he is turning out to be.

 

[Goat Hird]

He can football

 

[Vindicater]

Love his aggression. Not afraid at all.

200+ gamer locked and loaded.

Can Lloydy tell us more people to draft please?!

 

[Blind Turn]

Compare where he, Hobbs, and Tsatas were taken in the draft. This kid can kick the ball. Hobbs and Tsatas struggle. It’s the most important facet of the game.

You can see that he will have a long career while the jury is well and truly out on the other two purely based on the fact that their kicking is below par.

rude hair cut

 

[JayJ20]

Just awesome. Amazing that he slipped to us.

 

[TheFrenchCut]

Love the effort he puts in and that for a nominal outside player he has a crack in contested situations when required.

 

[TheUnicorn]

One of the best on tonight! Hard nut!

 

[ant555]

Hard nut who can kick

 

[Vander18]

Hard nut who can kick

You can’t have to many!

Going to be?

To Boak of all people!

 

[blitzer]

I've been impressed with his decision making. It just stands out for a player so young. The guy knows how to football. Seems to be pretty good all round and others have said he goes in really hard when its his turn.

 

[Chief Hopper]

My boy!!
Such a ready made player for AFL so young.

 

[NAB777]

So if I recall correctly, he was originally touted as a top 10-15(?) pick - any idea why he slid to mid 50s?

 

[HirdsTheWord]

this kid was born when i was in Year 12.......

**** im old....
