Recommitted Archie Perkins [signs 2 year deal]

[The Nostradamus]

The former top 10 pick is out of contract and had a very good start to the year.

Does he move for more mid time and what is he worth?

We apparently had a crack last year but not to be

Bold to go after him last year whilst in contract

Hasn't stopped us in the past. Asking questions is free

 

[Turbocat]

My bet...will sign and stay at Ess.

 

[citizen-erased]

Is getting midfield time and seems to want to take on a bit of leadership amongst the youngens.
doubt he goes

 

[FootyLad0]

We'll definitely put feelers out there again this offseason, met with him just this prior offseason.
He's out of contract and we will have cash, a spot in the midfield and a chance to play a big role.

Can see him staying but it can't hurt to see if the interest is mutual.

 

[masai tu]

All I know, he won’t be leaving Victoria.

 

[WilloTree]

Was a great actor. Particularly liked him in Psycho.

 

[Vindicater]

Not going anywhere. Well into contract talks and has cemented his role and gone to another level this season.

We should bring the boy home.

We are well into talks with Holmes as is Brisbane with McLuggage as is Bailey Smith with the Dogs.

None have signed. "Talks" just means their agent and the club are going back and forth on contract numbers, role and incentives/bonuses.
Doesn't mean anything, we lost the best player in the modern era of footy while in the middle of a dynasty run.

As far as i'm concerned, until pen is put to paper there's no guarantee.

 

[HTPunter]

I think whatever he’s offered, Essendon offer more. They won’t lose him. They’d tell Stringer to GAGF at contract talks if it means keeping Perkins.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Out for a month with the hammy strain

[The Nostradamus]

Has picked up from where he left of pre injury 20 touches and a goal against gws looked good

 

[HirdsTheWord]

can't see him leaving, we have the cash to splash BUT can't begrudge other clubs trying.

 

[Vindicater]

Well and truly cemented in the best 22 of a team on the rise.

Going nowhere.

 

[Ants]

If he did request a trade his trade cost isn’t going to be cheap. Not too many midfielders running around with his kicking skills and pressure. Really stepping up now.

I’d assume not many guys going at close enough to 20 + 1 a game

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Starting to come together for Perko he's our Stringer replacement

 

[The 747]

Bring the boy home to the coast!

Only 9 teams trying to drag him away from the Dons.

 

[Footy Smarts]

I imagine he'll stay. Probably worth pick 5-10 so given he's out of contract a pick 10-15 would get it done if he nominates his destination.

If he wants to come to Geelong I'd happily hand over our first pick assuming it's somewhere outside the top 10.

Bring the boy home to the coast!

Is that former Sandringham Dragon and East Sandy JFC alumi Archie Perkins we are talking about ?
