Jacob Farrow, move aside.
The impressive first-year Essendon defender generated headlines ahead of last year's National Draft for owning every AFL team's guernsey.
GWV Rebels bolter Archie Elliott makes that collection look minuscule with his bedroom at his Horsham home resembling a Myer shopfront on Boxing Day.
“When I was about 13 or 14, I would rock up to training at Horsham with a new guernsey, so I would always train in a new guernsey, and everyone would ask, 'What guernsey will you have tomorrow night?' and I'd always be in a new one," Elliott chuckled.
Unlike Farrow, Elliott doesn't own every team's guernsey - "only 12", he says - but the local paraphernalia on show adds character.
The North Melbourne supporter names a signed Drew Petrie guernsey, which is framed above his bed, separate from his others, as his favourite.
Told to bring the GWV Rebels and Horsham guernseys to our interview/photoshoot, a smile washes across his face when several more guernseys spill out of his backpack as he fishes for his Saints guernsey.
The collection started in Elliott's early teenage years and has rapidly grown since.
“It's been a collection I've enjoyed over the years," Elliott told Zero Hanger.
"Past guernseys of my father, who played at Robinvale and Horsham, and family members, a few NT ones and ones I've purchased.
"I've collected a lot of my own this year, and I enjoy a scroll on eBay for guernseys occasionally – pretty regularly actually, if one pops up I like, I'll jump on it and purchase it."
Elliott has worn three different guernseys on the footy field this year: Vic Country, GWV Rebels and St Patrick's College.
Modelling his game on Jamie Elliott and Kai Lohmann, the second round prospect has steadily risen onto the radar as a hybrid, high-flying 182cm forward who consistently hits the scoreboard.
Establishing himself in attack after spending time across half-back last season, Elliott has shown a capability of playing deep and higher up the ground as a link player, which has put him on the draft radar.
A team-high seven goals at the Under-18s National Championships reinforced the threat he poses in the forward half, which came after he missed the Vic Country summer hub.
“(Missing the summer hub) was a little bit of fuel to go a bit harder because I always thought I had the work rate and talent to get there," he said.
"I wanted to showcase my marking ability and ability to create separation and then also being a dual threat at ground level as well.
"I want to be able to expose taller defenders on the ground and smaller defenders in the air."
It has been built off repeated pre-seasons running up famed rock climbing location Mt Arapiles and boxing sessions in Horsham under the tutelage of Jake Lloyd's Dad.
From the same local club as Lloyd, with whom he is family friends, Elliott has spent time watching and speaking to the Sydney defender across his childhood, which has sown the seed for what is possible if he blends hard work with his talent.
“Jake's father has a gym down the road. A few of us boys from Horsham go down there and do some boxing; a lot of it is very physical but really improves the mental side of your game," he explained.
"We'd get out on the bus and go and run up Mt Arapiles in the 40-degree heat, and the gym in that heat would build the mindset as well.
"I think watching Jake from 15-years-old, I aspire to follow in his footsteps. The mindset helps with the ability to keep fighting through when you think you're at your pain limit.
"At stages of the game, I draw on it for repeat efforts. Trying to create pressure and turnover for the team is definitely something I pride myself on."
The athletic and hard-working forward kicked 43 goals at Talent League level in 2026 and averaged 14 disposals and four tackles for the GWV Rebels, with a seven-goal performance against Bendigo the standout of his season.
Alongside the Lloyd family, cousin Rory Taggert has had a significant impact on his journey.
A former Melbourne AFL-listed and SANFL player, Taggert and Elliott spend four weeks each summer training together on the Elliotts' annual trip to Adelaide.
"He's been huge. From a young age I've looked up to what he did and what he achieved and wanted to get to where he got to," he said.
"Unluckily, through injury, he didn't play an AFL game, so he's taught me to not take anything for granted because it won't be there forever, and you have to make the most of the opportunities you get and to listen to the coaching staff who are there to help you improve.
"I've improved a fair bit through training with him; he's a big fella so looking at him and working with him has helped refine my game."
Elliott has boarded at Ballarat's St Patrick's College for the last two years, the same school attended by Pick 1 prospect Ethan Drever.
The pair have become close throughout the year, pushing each other at training, and Elliott has noted his mate's outstanding professionalism.
The experience of boarding has empowered Elliott off the field, and armed with confidence, he could thrive regardless of where he goes.
"Working on independence is the main thing. Coming down here, you have freedom, so you have to rely on yourself rather than your parents," he said.
"It makes the initial move away from home easier. I think it would be a good move, and I could move anywhere because I have already experienced the move.
"It proves that you can build connections no matter your background or where you're from."
One of several small forwards in a similar range of the AFL Draft, alongside Marlon Neocleous, Hawthorn Academy prospect Keenan Boi and Harvie Cooke, Elliott has positioned himself well to add one of his own AFL guernseys to his collection.
"I think I would be decently ready (if I was to land on an AFL list) with all the resources the clubs have you can take," he said.
"I think it would be very beneficial, and I'd be able to learn off the senior players.
"I would bring speed and breakaway ability on the lead and pressure, trying to create pressure that allows the team to lock the ball in and score."
