Fatigue? Doing a lot more running likely in midfield and having a lot more physical contests being tackled/tackling

Possible. But from memory there were instances of it fairly early in the year too. Anyway, it may not be a real thing, maybe just less than ideal connection on a few kicks. Or I’m just seeing things.

Think its your second point,
He roosted one from 55 3 or 4 weeks ago.
16 disposals, 94 metres gained, 8 clangers, 4 frees against, 0 clearances.
Next year will be very interesting for Archie. Needs to start putting it all together

One of the laziest players on our list. He refused to chase or gave a half arsed effort chasing his opponent on multiple occasions tonight

I dont get the hype lol
Id agree not a midfielder at all - reacts too slow, until he has the work ethic, just stick to the forward line
Why the hell did he start in the middle in a crunch game anyway? Baffling given he’s shown very little in the middle this year.
Perkins has settled into a comfort zone of knowing he’ll be selected every week.
Probably satisfied with just being an AFL footballer.
Likely to follow a host of others this century at Essendon who are happy to have a well paid career without onfield success.

He’s not AFL standard ……no second efforts no pressure no skills, no good

Archie is the kind of player that Melbourne or Richmond will take and turn into a Petracca or a Martin respectively, but Essington will turn him into a Kyle Reimers.

In horrible form right now. Can be much better than he is.

It started with his dorky hat, ponytail and boyish looks. If Perkins was ugly he’d be dropped by now.

to get a contract?
You and I seem to opposed on which player will make it. You with Cox and me with Archie. I suspect we both will be wrong but I’m hoping we are both right.

Lol it’s funny you say that, I’ve thought for years that certain players get overrated because of their looks.
