Agree. Job description clearly states “must be willing to live interstate”. What he’s done is draft tampering and the AFL should make an example out of him.This Archie Perkins kid doesn't sound ready for a professional football club environment.

Sanchez and McJesus have teamed up and are back to haunt us!!39. Richmond - Liam McMahon
Height, Weight: 196cm, 84kg
Profile: McMahon is a key forward who attacks the ball aerially and takes marks at the highest point. While still quiet raw, McMahon is an good athlete with his leap and speed in particular impressive.
nearly had a heart attack, not another small forward I thought
Yep massive red flag for me. Obviously some Melbourne club will pick him but hope it's not us. Either he's engaging in draft tampering which brings into question his character. If it's not draft tampering it shows a kid who's not prepared to do everything in his power to make it as an AFL footballer. Wanting to stay at home with mummy is not a great way to advertise your wares.This Archie Perkins kid doesn't sound ready for a professional football club environment.
Sounds like the tosser's from the mid 90's that would always knock us back and would write to clubs not draft them.This Archie Perkins kid doesn't sound ready for a professional football club environment.
Hardly! Its been happening for years and will continue to happen for years. A young kid doesn't want to go interstate and is prepared to say so.Agree.

Chambers and PymanSounds like the tosser's from the mid 90's that would always knock us back and would write to clubs not draft them.
one ended up at North, a real dud.
And the other ended up at Adelaide and was an average footballer.

The real draft tampering is clubs like the Bulldogs getting the best player in the draft, the academy concessions to the Northern clubs. The extra picks the AFL throws at underperformers and the lopsided free agency compo depending on what the AFL thinks!
The AFL has turned the draft into a farce. Its now the most unequal equality system in world sport.
Lol if its inside 20 you do 100%, If his name was Raurice Mioli, he'd go after 45.You never overlook a Rioli. Never.
If Dodo did bid on MRJ in the first round (he wont)
I think we can and would live trade pick 20'ish
down for something equivalent like 2 picks in the mid 30's.
then match with 35, and take Jackson Callow, who we wanted in the first place, with 38.
Now that Dodo has apparently telegraphed this ridiculousness,
I imagine we'd already have a pick trade in principle agreement with a club who isn't a bunch of *smile*.
I can't imagine any world where the son of Maurice Rioli doesn't pull on a Richmond jumper today
*smile* im excited. Incredibly significant day for the football romantics amongst us (and isnt a sizeable romantic streak a pre-requisite for barracking for Richmond?)
edit: Matty Clarke 'we are heavily committed to bringing Maurice Rioli Jr, onto our list'
not 'looking at the possibility of', not 'interested', not 'committed'
'heavily committed'
in any weather you will see us with a grin (hey)
risking head and shin (hey)
(opens a can of Richmond premiership draught for breakfast, doubling up on the mental justification - Its draft day and we won the flag)

Was Wayne Hernaman another but we drafted him anyway?Chambers and Pyman
Yep Perkins sounds like an Essendon man..........................Abort the mission Tiges. Major red flags. Please let Dodo roll the dice at Tulla.
Lol if its inside 20 you do 100%, If his name was Raurice Mioli, he'd go after 45.
What if Raurice was 202/99 and was a cross between Michael Roach and Toby Nankervis, won the 2km time trial, and was the u18 Australasia heavyweight boxing champ and knocked back a contract with the LA Lakers to care for his disabled nana who has lived on punt road for 90 years?
Sounds like a sook.This Archie Perkins kid doesn't sound ready for a professional football club environment.
