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

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
