There’s a Damon Albarn Boys n Girls meme here somewhereprefer getting games into him over games over him over getting prefer games over him getting into games
How many games does he now have into him?
Josh Bloater?Too many, has become bloated.
Surely would have been in line for a call up before Archer?
I’ve seen Archer play every VFL game this season. I’m sorry but He is so far from from playing 1’s it would be very cruel to play him .Surely would have been in line for a call up before Archer?
In all seriousness, I wonder whether its an incentive to improve his performance.I’ve seen Archer play every VFL game this season. I’m sorry but He is so far from from playing 1’s it would be very cruel to play him .
He hardly can defend the stronger bodies in the VFL and I don’t think he’s managed any more than 5-6 possessions a game .
He is very prone to panic under pressure and as a consequence turn the ball over .
Is this a marketing ploy ?!
Yep bizarre either way you look at it - whether an incentive or marketing just screams of weird to me.I’ve seen Archer play every VFL game this season. I’m sorry but He is so far from from playing 1’s it would be very cruel to play him .

I saw Bergman, P Walker , Goater & Bonar at the pre match function last weekend.Have we had any first year defenders roll through this year? Bergham was one wasn’t he? And that was a premature selection (based on conditioning).
Makes you wonder what the SC team is doing.I saw Bergman, P Walker , Goater & Bonar at the pre match function last weekend.
Bonar was literally twice the size in every way bigger than those guys .
Shows how much they desperately need to hit the weights room before even thinking of being selected in the 1’s?!

Guys like Spicer, JHF, Ford, Phillips, even Powell have packed on a fair bit of mass in just a year or two.Makes you wonder what the SC team is doing.

I suspect for guys who've been on the system more than a year who are super skinny it's more on them than the SC team at this point.
Yes 2025I thought he was a lock for round 1?
How much do you think he could unlock the run once the vfl side is more competitive. How much of the current situation is because we are “pinned back”?So I just went back and watched back footage of his game from the weekend again.
Hands down his best of the year after struggling to find the ball and impact the game in his first year. Stoked for him to get a game like this under his belt and it should do him a world of good.
Some things that stood out:
- Sure hands when intercept marking
- Super clean taking possession of the ball under pressure
- Made some seriously good kicks and attacking handballs to get some speed on the ball and open up the play
I wish he used more of his run and carry to break the lines, and mixed it with his long kicking to turn himself into a metres gained beast. I mentioned this in the VFL thread during the game, but he's playing as one of the last 3 defenders for some reason. I'd personally have him on the back flank and give him the license to run, carry and be putting bombs into forward 50 before the defense has a chance to get set. Even if he's not positioning his kicks perfectly in this situation, our goal should be to create stoppages inside forward 50m or goal scoring opportunities. Play Stephenson deep 1-out or a tall up forward with someone like Mahony or Dib at their feet.
There were a few moments where his decision making and execution was average, but the more ball and exposure he gets at this level, he'll be able to improve those things.
