If he's not careful he's gunna end up with the Maynard head that everyone wants to punch every week

Is that a bad thing?

 

[Chief Hopper]

My Boy!!
The team has had a crummy year, but one of the few things to be pleased with is seeing Archie out and about.

Bring on 2026.

He seems a very similar type of player too

Except Roberts is actually tough, not faux-tough against smaller opponents?

 

[Vindicater]

You just know he is going to make a beeline for Merrett the first time we face him.

 

[MattyB3150]

Give this guy more midfield minutes next season. Definitely one of the shining lights for the season.

 

[Dons4days]

Not even top 5 in the RS. Genuinely laughable.

 

[Vindicater]

Meh.

Roberts is the kind of kid who will take that as motivation.

It's more an indictment on the panelists. It doesn't mean a lot in the scheme of things.

I have no issue with Reid winning, he plays a difficult position and plays it well, but Archie was arguably better and more consistent than the other four. It's nuts how little it was spoken of. He had a great year, albeit it in a struggling team.

6th by default, as only 6 players got any votes.

 

[astrowizzle]

One word to describe him

[BomberTime]

Too early for the leadership group next year?

 

[thebigboy]

Too early for the leadership group next year?

Probably too early to be a vice captain, but as a part of an extended group, I’d go with it

 

[thepokey]

I like the idea of one of the younger lads being in the leadership group, a voice for them. Perfect candidate
