[Beerfish]

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

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Huge tackle on Ryder in the first. Ridiculously strong.

 

[pepsi]

Best game of his career so far. Very good signs.

 

[Milanista28]

Man he's good looking

 

[naraku]

He just keeps building and going forward.



Still shouldn't of cut his hair!

Reverse samson.
Has cut the hair and become stronger

 

[brutus76]

still filling out - will be a best in the next year or two - got thicker in the arms and upper body compared to last year

Is one of those positive players that just makes things happen with ball in hand. Adding that strength to influence games in other ways now (big tackles, ability to take big marks, break through stoppages etc) is on show more.

Another pre season and games into him and we could see him go up a level or two. Great game again from Archie

 

[Milanista28]

I like that he can do maximum damage off 20 touches, high impact player

 

[Lance Uppercut]

I mean... FMD.

The second coming of Dusty

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

Best physical condition he's been at. Didn't look as gassed as other games and just kept on going.

I think he becomes the Heeney utility type.

 

[NAB777]

You can't teach some of the things this guy has.
Will likely have some ups & downs in the next year or so, but the upside with this guy is significant.

I noticed that watching the replay. Was running well in the third quarter which was nice to see.

 

[MarkJohnson#1]

Remember when people were panicking that we didn't have a tall midfielder...

 

[JayJ20]

Perkins is tracking to be top 3 in his draft.

 

[VelvetSledge]

Goodness me, what a player.

Unbelievable game last night, just so strong.

Very very impressive

An 8/10 game last week

a 3/10 game this week..


Hopefully in 2 - 3 years time he is consistently a 6/10 game player

Don't set the bar too high now...

 

[citizen-erased]

Rushed some kicks last night but not alone. I like that he keeps competing and tries to do things to break games open.

For a 2nd year player, tracking nicely.

Forward Archie Perkins will be unavailable for this week’s fixture as he continues to rehabilitate a calf injury.

Murphy said the 20-year-old is being carefully managed as the club continues to identify the appropriate recovery length for Perkins’ return.

“’Perko’s’ got a low-end calf strain at the moment,” Murphy said.

“Unfortunately, there was a little bit of tightness out of main training, and it’s shown up as a low-end calf strain.

“He’ll miss this week and we’ll see how he shapes up over the next week or two.”

Second-year forward Archie Perkins will be unavailable for this week’s clash due to a calf injury.

Murphy said Perkins will attempt to target a return for round 19.

“Perko’s’ back up and now, he’s going through his progressions in that rehab program,” he said.

“We won’t see him this week, but all things will shape him up hopefully for next weekend.”

His "progressions."

WTF!?

 

[madrigal]

His "progressions."

WTF!?

In a rehab program a set of incremental adjustments to the exercise demands to rehabilitate from an injury.

Thank you.

Stages would've sufficed too.
