“I would be ready to go and fully committed. I just don’t think I’m ready for that and I wanted to be honest about it.”
Recruiting sources have confirmed Perkins has left non-Victorian clubs clearly of the impression that he does not want to head interstate.
Sources have indicated that Perkins has opted against engaging with some non-Victorian clubs and even hinted to one that he would not join them if drafted by that club.
The AFL,which has anti-tampering rules,has been contacted for official comment.
