AFL Draft Central is featuring this player and his exciting attributes which might well suit the Demons ~

Archie Perkins

I liked what I saw from him last year and reckon he's exactly what we need. I think he'll be gone before any of our picks though unless we get up to a top 10-15 pick somehow.

    Will go top 10 for sure. Know we're keen on Macrae, but if we managed to get GWS' incoming pick 9 and both he and Perkins were available I have a feeling we might take Perkins.

    Based on about 12 seconds of highlight videos, I think Macrae suits us better but Perkins has better upside or 'star' potential

    Perkins is very slight but very creative. Loves a goal.

    I think McRae and Perkins are both top 9-15 draft picks. We will somehow need to upgrade to get one of these blokes. I’ll wait until the end of trade period for my mock and crystal ball settings.

    Being talked about as a draft bolter archie-perkins-hawthorn-essendon  Pies would probably be keen to get him so the jockeying for draft position of those teams will be interesting.

    Likened to Petracca and touted as a top 10 pick going-places-the-powerful-x-factor

    Out of reach for us.

    Admittedly only seen highlights but don't see the resemblance with someone like petracca at all.

     

    I remember when petracca got drafted, he was heavier than most keyforwards (i think 8kg heavier than McCartin).  Perkins may end up an explosive player but he's about 20kg lighter than Petracca was in his draft year at a simialr height!

    Will be long gone before 18/19 (or whatever mid 20s picks they end up being)

    Would be lucky if he slips through to 18/19 22/23 or whatever we are holding on the night

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
