Personally I think he is the best recruit South have had on a dollar for value basis in many many years.
Anyway I've had a crack at how I think the South boys will go:
Rd. 1 bye
Rd. 2 v North 1.M.Handby
Rd. 3 v West 3.Archard 2.Cupido 1. Parry
Rd. 4 v Port 1.Parry
Rd. 5 v Sturt 3.Bennett 2.Parry 1. Kenna
Rd. 6 v Glenelg 1. Bennett
Rd. 7 v Norwood 1. Archard
Rd. 8 v Centrals 3. Bennett 2. Kenna 1.Thewlis
Rd 9. bye
Rd. 10 v WWT 1. Archard
Rd. 11 v West 3.Thewlis 2.Kenna 3.Archard
Rd. 12 v Port 3. Mcglone 2.Sampson 1.Archard
Rd. 13 vSturt 3.Cupido 2.Thewlis 1.Archard
Rd. 14 v North 1.Archard
Rd.15 v Glenelg 1. Bennett
Rd.16 v bye
Rd 17 v Centrals 1.Hateley
Rd. 18 v WWT 3.Thewlis 2. Sampson 1.Wright
Rd.19 v Norwood 3.Twomey 2.Davey 1.Parry
Rd.20 v Sturt 3.Archard 2.Smith 1.Iljecson
Rd.21 v North 1.Thewlis
Rd. 22* v West 3.Davey 2.Parry 1.McGlone
Rd. 23 v Glenelg 3.Archard 2.Davey 1.Thewlis
Archard 15
Thewlis 11
Davey 7
Bennett 8
Parry 7
Kenna 5
Sampson 4
Mcglone 4
As someone who has seen all South games this year ,these are my predictions.
Josh Thewlis has also had a great year and I wouldnt be surprised if he ,like Davey is destined for the AFL.
What the umpires come up with however is anyones guess, its a bit like when they blow the whistle-could go either way.
Interesting to note that Archard missed the Rd 22 Game v West because of a Wedding committment. I am sure had he played he would surely have figured in the voting. It may turn out to be a very costly decision.
