Archie Elliott's Impressive Guernsey Collection and Rising AFL Draft Prospects

Archie Elliott, a promising player from the GWV Rebels, has gained attention for his extensive collection of footy guernseys, which he began amassing in his early teens. His bedroom in Horsham resembles a retail display, showcasing a variety of guernseys, including a signed one from North Melbourne's Drew Petrie, which he considers his favorite.

Elliott's collection includes 12 different guernseys, with some being family heirlooms and others purchased from eBay. This year, he has worn three different guernseys on the field, representing Vic Country, GWV Rebels, and St Patrick's College. His performance has caught the eye of scouts, particularly after scoring seven goals at the Under-18s National Championships.

Training with local athletes and under the guidance of experienced players has helped Elliott refine his skills. He has developed a strong work ethic, often running up Mt Arapiles and participating in boxing sessions. Elliott's journey is also influenced by his cousin Rory Taggert, a former AFL-listed player, who has taught him the importance of seizing opportunities. As he prepares for the AFL Draft, Elliott feels ready to take the next step in his football career.
