Past #39: Flynn Perez - drafted w/ #39 in 2019 ND - 2x ACL - delisted end '23 - 24 NM games / 1 NM goals - thanks Flynn

[Luke72]

Genuinely good bloke, great to have as our
Player sponsorship player the last few years. I hoped he’d get another chance. He’s still really young so I hope he can do enough to get another shot.

I hadn’t seen him in the flesh until I went to training earlier in the year,

Just made the worse decisions under pressure too often, hurried into rush kicks and bombing long to contests.
Game style can’t handle this anymore and clarko wouldn’t be a fan of his lack of composure.

 

[tazaa]

Knee injuries got him. They really are s**t.

 

[gokangas]

Feel a little disappointed for Flynn. Can we rookie him? One of those kids that I always thought had something to give if he could get his fitness right. Just a gut feel.

 

[longyroos]

Another cooked 2nd rounder for us, people complain we traded a 2nd for CCJ, we should never use a 2nd rounder ever again.

 

[Passmore]

Ah well.

. Got up like it didn't happen. Thought we had one. Miserable

 

[Roostorm]

Fare well flying Flynn from benders……cut short by those 2 knee recos….best wishes for the future…

 

[hotchilli]

Hopefully manages to earn his way back onto an AFL list but feel completely fine we've pulled the pin here.

 

[big_e]

Fwiw, he was mentioned in an article talking about potential recruits for the Eagles in The West last week.

 

[SunnyBoner]

I agree. I suspect he will be one of those players like Ryan Clarke who fills a role with a team like the Swans.

 

[Liam Boy]

Looked really good and really exciting in his first few games in 2020. Just a shame about the injuries.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Those knee injuries robbed him of his agility and top end speed. As a 16 year old he was quite a dashing half back flanker/mid. Bloody shame.

Can’t fault him for his effort and professionalism, he tried bloody hard to get the best out of himself.

Selected Perez ahead of Chad Warner…….

We’ve made some awful decisions for way too long

 

[Premieroos]

You're talking about a coach that regularly played Daniel Howe...

 

[hotchilli]

You're talking about a coach that regularly played Daniel Howe...

Howe can at least run, poor Perez looked like he was running in knee deep mud all the time.

 

[Merlin007]

You're talking about a coach that regularly played Daniel Howe...

I'm a big one for free speech - provided it bears some relationship to reality.

In that regard (a) the "coach" was on leave for much of the season, and (b) Howe played 11 games of 22, 4 of them as activated substitute.

I guess it depends on your definition of 'regularly'

I know. Gutsy as.

Cheers Flynn if your knees had held up it would have been a different story i reckon.

 

[Kanga Glory]

Playing at sturt in the SANFL next year

 

[DarkPhoenix]

With my awful memory, I'd forgotten we delisted him, so when I saw the news he was playing at Sturt I got a second round of sadness.

 

[RightWingRoo]

Give himself 2-3 years to have a crack at getting back on a list.
If it doesn't work out, he'll get paid well to head back to Bendigo and dominate

 

[The Filth Wizard]

With my awful memory, I'd forgotten we delisted him, so when I saw the news he was playing at Sturt I got a second round of sadness.

Yeah, he was the one I was saddest about, especially after all the rehab stuff. He’s a great character too on a personal level.

 

[Luke72]

Yeah having dealt with him through the Player sponsorship I can attest to what a great guy he was. I really hoped he was going to get another contract, he was still only 21.
