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

[Luke72]

Anyone know how his rehab is tracking?..

Like this kid.

I got to chat to him through our player sponsorship program sometime late July early August I reckon. He has been killing it in the gym and reckons he’s stronger than any of the other young dudes.

He sounded pretty upbeat considering he’s missed two seasons pretty much. Apparently the rehab group gets pretty competitive. Really hope he gets a good run at it next year.

Flynn "mate I'm flying. Absolutely smashing everyone else in the gym in my rehab group"

Luke "that's great mate! Who's in the group with you?"

<Silence>

Luke "you there?"

Flynn "yeh"

Luke "So who are the dudes you're beating up in the gym?"

Flynn "um, Matty McGuinness, Curtis Taylor yeh.. um gotta go"

Haha were you there?? It was funny because it was a zoom call and all the player sponsors could have joined in but I was the only one who showed. (The time was a bit inconvenient)

Seems to be developing the upper body nicely, obviously not afraid of hard work, hope his rehab is 100% successful, our gameplan suits his skillset nicely.

our boy's putting up numbers! not exactly sure what those numbers represent, but 500! that's quite a lot! especially since none of his teammates appear to have polled a single one.

Think the 500 is the number of days he’s been injured

Sad but probably about right

Is it just me but could that formerly skinny kid develop into a big body mid? Physique kinda reminds me of cripps in that photo.

Whether Flynn and Charlie Comben get a proper run at it could very well be what determines the upper limit of our rebuild. So much talent between them, and in positions that we are otherwise light on for long term options…

 

[Horizons_00]

Super excited about this kid

 

[The Nostradamus]

 

[Ligma]

His arms are huge! Holy moly

must not just you!!!

 

[ohh_v]

Man child. That head does not belong to that body lol.

 

[Luke72]

He’s like an extra new recruit. I hope he gets a decent run at it this time.

 

[shinboner magic]

Hoping he's the 2022 bolter..

Hope he just stays fit and is given a chance at a career

 

[Scottroo]

I reckon he just somehow looks like a gun. Hopefully the body allows it

 

[Liam Boy]

he's going to be the cam zurhaar of the backline. he was already dangerous 1 on 1, even before he piled on the muscle. he's a good runner, a good kick, a good decision maker under pressure. could solve a lot of problems back there.

Remember when Cam Zurhaar was the Cam Zurhaar of the backline briefly this year pre Dog

He's still got a long way to go.

It's good to see he's back out in the track, but given it's his 2nd reco on the same knee you have to wonder how much that will affect his mobility and athleticism.

I'm happy to be patient with him and don't really expect a lot of senior action from him next season.

Good to see he has no strapping on it, he must feel confident that it’s stable.
