#16 “OMG it’s Archie” Perkins

Yeah, I’ll concede, we need to look at developing the list, this year is cooked.

Even some time on the wing would get him more involved compared to what is happening now.

We need Archie’s brilliance up fwd, would be insanity to move him, he’s one of our shining lights this year winning his position most games, and god knows we have very little in the cupboard for medium to small sized forwards

These type of comments make me chuckle.
Archie isnt good enough to be a mid, Baldwin isnt good enough to be selected, Ditto Wanganeen.

Whats the worst that can come of it? We will keep losing games.
We need to be giving the kids as much opportunity as possible, because regardless this team is going nowhere.

Yeah, I’ve changed my thoughts on this. Had to remember we are ■■■■, not playing finals, and this year is a complete write off.

Play the kids, within reason, and develop them.

And more so because of how bad our VFL team is. No one will develop down there.

Send them to the VFLW team to develop.

This whole attitude of making the kids earn their stripes is the BS that arrogant teams dribble out, and we have absolutely no reason to be an arrogant club.

Guys like Perkins and Hobbs are gonna sit in the forward line and learn that to be a senior midfielder you need to play dumb, unaccountable and selfish football.

It would drive me nuts if I was Archie and I was seeing 29yo senior footballer highest paid player in the team being pushed aside, out bodied and eating grass whenever an opponent touches him.

How good? The little dude will be telling his grandkids in 60 years time how he went on TV and met his favourite player. Cool stuff.

Sensational. What a little legend Archie was on Friday night.
I can’t stand brother of Gill. But give credit where due and say well done brother of Gill for saying you will get them to meet.
Give little Archie the 5 grand now for aus kicker of the year

Why is it Archies dream to meet that kid? That’s not Bewick’s son is it?

It was Archie’s dream to be a father, that’s his son.

That was the first thing the kid said to Perk.

Quite happy for these two to be our next club captain and vice-captain.

Couldn’t be any worse than the current lot.

Not much to smile about for EFC fans of late but this certainly makes you do so. Mini legend!

Brilliant for the young lad.

Should get him through the next four years of mediocrity.
