Welcome Archer Day Wicks

Good type to rookie has size and good above head.
Models he’s game on Heeney and idolised dusty if we get a quarter of that we will have a player.

Little look at Archer in action, from memory it was a solid performance on a rainy day.

Two Archies and an Archer.

Love this pick! Had him in my options for last night, so to see us land him today has me pretty stoked.

X-factor mid sized forward. Powerful, aggressive – just needs to build production consistency.

Also happens to have a connection to H.Reid through the Pioneers program …

Looks like a Rachele type

I would have picked him at 45… thats how much talent i think he has. Has that ability to be top 25 pick. Zuhaar type

Nice player but a word of warning. Not a speedy type at all. Recorded a 3.2 second time in the sprint.

Nice patch of play in Archer’s highlights where Unwin delivers a great kick over the back to Day-Wicks

Why on earth would Saints rookie Brad Crouch??

Surely better off to pay out final year of contract and pick up a rookie on very little coin. Doesn’t make much sense. He is physically cooked!

desperate for mids and they didn’t have a chance to use 2 first round picks on mids this year

Can he physically play though? His knee degeneration is supposedly quite severe??

I hope he can’t and contributes to them being bottom 4 next year where they belong

Done well after facing some physical challenges in recent years.
Hopefully that translates into more determination, upside to his game, taking his opportunities etc. and the kid gets a good run at it at AFL level.
Welcome to Essendon Archer.

Should help Duursma kick goals…

Had a bit of Dangerfield about it
(marking style when resting forward), but overall I’m getting Clugg vibes. Looks like a smart player with strength, could be anything. Like
