Stubbornly selecting Perkins as his confidence gets run into the ground reminds of:
- Weideman, 2023
- Menzie, 2024

Every footballer needs a good partner just like Hirdy did, so what would be better than a Hird offspring like Steph and with a MIL like Tania to bring a young larrikin into line.
Don’t know why that is creepy at all.
leave me and my kind out of this.
btw, do you find Miss Piggy hot?
I gotta say, Perkins reminded me of Jones on the weekend. Completely bereft of confidence and touch. Whereas before he had that touch of potential and raw talent, now nothing works.
Nah not particularly. Though one of the previous Mrs Fox had a lot in common with her.
You missed out on the most obvious explanation.
He lost his superpowers when he cut his hair.
I really hope Draper keeps the mullet as long as he remains in Essendon colours.

but some of the decent small to medium forwards are of a similar size, body frame wise.
it’s the fact that they will work up and down the ground, that allows them to stay in the contest.
Look at rowell’s game over the weekend, not many possies in the first half, but what 7 or 8 tackles.
That’s where perkins, and other players falter, they get in a form slump, and then instead of controlling things they can, like effort and intent without the ball, they over compensate by trying to do extra when they do get the ball, but they don’t get it much and then make more mistakes cos of that.
Perkins continued selection is a reason why people don’t buy the bullshit that gets spoken about say a jones. he supposedly does this “defensive running” and helps around the ground, that’s why his 8 possie, no goal games are accepted by the coaches.
but you can’t even pretend to say the same about perkins, cos that intent just isn’t there, yet gets picked.
you could handle the non high possessions, if he was making up for it with say manic defensive pressure, but he just jogs around like it’s a sunday afternoon stroll around the beach.

My conclusion is one of three things.
Maybe Archie has been carrying a groin /OP issue because the way he has fallen away is so remarkable. Or is he dealing with mental or off field issues? Or has the game caught up with him and given his lack of defensive skills and intent/ desire to win contests he just looks poor and can’t be carried anymore.
Im calling the fkng police.
I changed the photos to something that probably suits your taste

He looks like a deer in the headlights… purely confidence and as a couple have said , this is where our coaches show why they earn the big bucks.
Many years ago we had a few young guys in the team like Archie and it wasn’t until we started to win a few games that there confidence and true ability came through
I’m talking about you Roger Merrett and glen Hawker!!
Tell someone who cares
Yes… the police.
I’d hate to speculate, but he doesn’t look right mentally to me, if his lack of confidence is anything to go by. But also he seems slow and unwilling to give anything more than singular efforts.
Could be a bit of both mental/injury
