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

[muttley45]

Just like LDU, consistently does not deliver long hang time on his kicks, a pretty rare attribute on our list.

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

Watching Perez at the ground kick from deep in defence and take off for the handball receive and get it back, he is a serious athlete. Very fast over that 20-80 metres and a very smooth mover. But obviously you want them to be a footballer first and he has a lot of good stuff going on there too.

I thought he moved like a gazelle. Very graceful.

He is also a dead ringer for a young Arnie, before he got huge.

 

[Horizons_00]

Will he get a contract i wonder

 

[speedy]

Surely he does. Didn’t look great for a lot of the season, but improved after Patch took over. His last game was very encouraging. Need his skills.

 

[Le Grille]

Surely he does. Didn’t look great for a lot of the season, but improved after Patch took over. His last game was very encouraging. Need his skills.

He was fine all year considering it was his first real consistent stint at top level

 

[Mjs94]

Surely there is absolutely zero chance he doesn't get a new contract. Tough, athletic, skillful and improving defensively. Prototype half back/ back pocket

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Is a dual kick and he is very fast in a straight line.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Need to announce his contract extension at bnf also

 

[Frank Thring]

He's a keeper for sure. I can see him having stints in the midfield.

 

[nelroo]

IMO he should be a priority to get another contract. Stands out like dogs balls in our side the way he kicks the ball- beautifully!

 

[Shermanator]

Love him

 

[HARPSichord]

Give him 2 years. Fingers crossed we have seen the back of his knee issues. He's tough, he runs all day and his disposal is more than handy.

is also expected to remain at the club.

Perez is out of contract after playing 16 games this season, but is likely to be locked in for next year at Arden Street.

The speedy 21-year-old had an injury-hit beginning to his career with a knee reconstruction in 2021, which was his second ACL injury.

The Roos are also expected to retain Young on a new deal, with the former Western Bulldogs defender playing 35 games over his two seasons at North Melbourne since crossing from the Dogs in 2020.

As AFL.com.au revealed last month, North Melbourne has applied for two extra list spots as part of their pitch for AFL assistance from the League along with priority picks.

I like this but means we will lose Atu, Jed and Turner at least, I suspect that is even if we get the extra list spots

Not a bad result. Walker depending on our pursuit of Logie maybe.

 

[TheBigHorne]

Not a bad result. Walker depending on our pursuit of Logie maybe.

A logie? Those things you get for acting? I don't want a Selwood or Ginnivan on the team.


But in seriousness if we do get Logue I think it'd be hard to justify keeping Walker on the team.

 

[My Left Foote]

Apart from Jed, no issues with losing Atu and Turner.

I’m thinking more Augustine Logie.

 

[Psicosis]

Thought he was fantastic when moved back to HBF

 

[Roo Beauty]

Thought he was fantastic when moved back to HBF

His game in Round 23 shows he can be a weapon if allowed to develop there. His run and carry combined with some laser kicks was great to watch.

 

[My Left Foote]

Thought he was fantastic when moved back to HBF

He sure was, another player to suffer in the first half of the season by being played out of position by Noble.

 

[adas]

Only offered one year with triggers. Disappointing when players like Laz and Mahoney get multi year terms, we couldnt do better for flynn.

Good!!
Then in 2022, my team said "son It's time you stopped rambling, there's work to be done"

Ball is in his court, and should he get fit he'll earn more next contract extension.
