AFL Player #16: Archie Perkins - Out for 4 weeks with a hamstring - 8/4

[Beerfish]

Contract Status: Out of contract 2024
My Boy Draft 2024: Pick 9, sup3rfish

 

[Vander18]

God he's a weird cat, he has some Cam Newton about him. The interview on AFL Draft Night Live was so strange.

I was a bit worried by his personality but really happy to see this from Robert Shaw who I think can spot a dick head as well as most....

“Clubs ask players how they’d go interstate. He’s been honest and said he’d struggle. He’s just 18. Hardly a crime “
Straight down the line like he’s always been. Ask him a question, he’ll answer it. Get to know him and he’ll give everything. Back in your club. Can play.#unique

Loved what I've sen from this guy so far. Reckon he will be a star.

 

[JayJ20]

I think he’ll either be a star or delisted in 2 years. No in between

Mods, please update thread title to ‘Archie Perkins - loosest campaigner in Portsea’

 

[Megabattimus]

Definitely my fave out of the three first rounders. Hope he has a big pre-season and can play Round 1.

 

[Goat Hird]

Pair this guy up with a good ruckman, he'll be kicking some belters outside 50.

Well he could be the next Bailey smith

. You never know.

As long as he's not as s**t as Kruezer or Gibbs I'll be happy.

He's a top 10 pick at efc. Whether he's a dud or a star, he'll get at least 8 years lol.

 

[scatman john]

No wonder he doesn’t want to leave Vic. What a unit. Get around him

 

[The Prosecutor]

Well, can't say he isn't interesting.

 

[Ati Tude]

Well, can't say he isn't interesting.

So much about him reminds me of Kyle Reimers

. Hope it works out a lot better. He's got the potential, just hope he uses it.

 

[brain taylor]

I love him

 

[Bombermania]

That is far too funny.

On a serious note, in the highlights which are not always great guides due to the lack of defensive pressure but I really liked how he switched from the contest to looking to get on the attack.

 

[yodellinhank]

Welcome Larry

Yes

What was the video?

Damn. Reimers could deliver bullets. Those boots though... *sigh*

 

[rumply]

Putting on some weight shouldn't be an issue, spewing I missed the vid!

 

[Eleven 38]

Im not sure nominating states is helpful for a national comp, but now that weve picked him and its annoyed other vic clubs im all for it. Welcome to the club.

However until we can get the mental health situation under control i guess its just something we have to deal with, but its not going to help GWS or GC, well any NSW or QLD club if they aren't competing for finals.

 

[naraku]

Good pick up. I can see Archie possibly getting an early look in next season.
