Perkins wasted no time settling into life at the NEC Hangar, playing 20 games in his debut season in 2021, primarily in a forward role with bursts through the midfield. His size and ability to stand up in a tackle held him in good stead and it wasn’t hard to see why the Bombers rate him so highly. Was nominated for the NAB AFL Rising Star award after a three-goal game against Adelaide in round 17.
