#16 “OMG it’s Archie” Perkins

I said the same last night to my fiancé. He looked very lame and started the game in the goalsquare.

He has been disappointing, injury or not.

Also @Bacchusfox what injury is it?

Why has he been playing if injured? Again contradicts the coach’s words in not playing unfit players.

It’s why I asked what the injury is. A lot of players carry something through the year but just have to work through it.

That draft is going to kick us in the guts for years and years.

Actually all our drafts that should have rebuilt the club have been pathetic. 2006, 2016, 2020 (if they are all the right years).

Physio aligned with club told me it was something with his monkey muscle plus a minor strain in groin adductor. He said that it is something many players have and played through.

All I noticed was that Archie seemed to have less power in the legs than early in season and his kicking is down. Physio also did say that long, tough season and many players need more rest, but not much backup to pick from, many young unseasoned bodies.

Is this the same person who told you mozzie was coming back?

Nope, that was the boot studder

Weird that a physio wound tell you confidential patient information.

Why? Aligned doesn’t mean employed.

I thought you couldn’t talk about any patients? Employed by a club or not.

Well I just hope Archie gets himself free of any injury over the next month or more … has a sit down with BDB and the coaches about his game and any shenanigans, and gets to work on his body and aerobic fitness over summer.

I also hope they convince him to let the midfield gig go for say two years and just concentrate on being the half forward weapon we know he can be. I rate him … but he had a bog average season this year. He can do way better, we know.

Maybe not his patient, I don’t know but seemed on the money.

Anyway, even to my old eyes Archie looked cooked.

If he is out partying and drinking during the week, he needs to be given a rocket- if he doesn’t fix his attitude, he needs to be cut

This makes sense. We were totally outrun and Perkins couldn’t catch Mitchell… we have just been out of gas with nothing to fall back on. We certainly need some pieces in the list but I don’t think the last two weeks is as much to worry about as many will think.

This is a lot more believable than Archie talking to norf.
