Put him in the GF sprint. It’s about time we won it again.

 

[jwikked]

I like this, if only for the name (Peris, not another Jack).

How does he play? Does anyone think he’s a realistic chance at best 22?

Not next year, without knowing much he's a huge project player and has trouble getting into matches. But he's a late comer to footy and I think we're grabbing him on potential.

Obviously a great name in Australian sport, to think his mother won a gold medal in hockey and then became an athletics champion is wild. She's also been a great leader to indigenous youth. Really hope he makes it, Sandy will have some dash next year!

Cat B rookie is about fair from what I've seen. If he can develop in to a GOP then his pace will see him find a place on a wing.

He is a project player. When they say he is quick they mean he probably is the quickest in the afl. That’s how quick he is

I watched a game last year that he played in. He hardly touched the ball and looked a little lost, I think he's an incredible athlete that hopefully learns quick in a professional environment. If he can pick up some skills he will be able to run himself out of trouble.

 

[Saintos The ITK]

Not a big fan of mum but all the best to him.

 

[tomjoad]

When you have speed you can find space, link up chains...also a handy attribute to reach contests.

If he can kick, mark, handball and make good decisions...now that is the question?
That's what these Cat.B places are for they...development.
We have an emphasis on development now, with some new guys looking after it. Let's see it out to good use.
Welcome Jack Peris, God speed.

If he succeeds it may allow some on here to finally move on from the loss of Hind

Don't be ridiculous, we could have had multiples.

 

[Tommy Wigs]

Not a big fan of mum but all the best to him.

Why?

 

[moirae42]

Really a speculative project player.
He has a bit of talent and obscene athletic ability.
Needs to be coached heavily and then used to his strengths.
If they play him on a wing he could be a highlight reel at TBBO.
But he makes Lonie look like a heavyweight.

 

[Dr Spaceman]

Don't be ridiculous, we could have had multiples.

Yeah; nah

We don’t need no imitation

 

[AirWinmar]

Rapt we picked up Peris. May be a long shot, but if he can develop his game can be an absolute weapon with his pace

 

[mad-saint-guy]

I'm guessing we'll start by playing him as a pressure forward. Might pair him up with Butler all pre season to teach him to crumb off of packs and tell him to use his pace to harass the opposition defence when they have it.

 

[CaptainRisky]

That's Peris on the right i take it

 

[CaptainRisky]

How is he going to be able to combine going to primary school and playing afl , seriously the lad looks about 12

 

[BrutThough]

I'm guessing we'll start by playing him as a pressure forward. Might pair him up with Butler all pre season to teach him to crumb off of packs and tell him to use his pace to harass the opposition defence when they have it.

When a group of the NGAs trained with the Seniors back in March, they had him following Hill around on the wing. Was a moment when he put the burners on, overtook someone who had a good 10-15m head start on him to then lay a run down tackle on someone else.

A big project player, but has so much athletic ability to work with.

 

[sammm]

As well won't It depend on if he decides to do the Olympics in 2024?

 

[pebblesofsand]

As well won't It depend on if he decides to do the Olympics in 2024?

He's exceptionally quick but even so he's still way short of qualifying standards for Olympics in any of the individual track events.

Might have been a chance if we had a decent 400 metres relay team but we just don't have the numbers/quality.

I think that's part of the reason for the focus on footy.
