Yeah idk. Against hawthorn nothing was going our way and he was the only one keeping us in it. I do think at times he is good enough to influence the game himself.

But clearly the club thinks they have the means to replace him so.
Well Serong got 9 coaches votes and Brayshaw 6 for that game so it seems the coaches though the game was won by the midfielders. Acres still had a good game but yeah he plays well when the the mids play well. Which is why you don't pay 900k for a wingman...St Kilda.

He can't run it however he want's to, and he doesn't have "power of attorney" - how misguided can you get in one post.

Not how it works champ.

He will if the player is overseas, say in Bali as the suggestion was made.

And there are players who have their finances under control of a business manager.
 
Cheers. 👍

Then why the frick would someone suggest we put Jackson there? That's a Brad Hill/Freddy domain. A big fella like Jackson can operate in traffic.
Exactly. Jackson is better suited to the ‘skinny’ side which would be down the line to use his height (and supposed marking prowess) to advantage.
 
Fox sports is so s**t. This on Tucker

“The 25-year-old Victorian could be on the move back home, after just 108 games in seven seasons at Fremantle”

That’s a lot of game time over 7 seasons when you’re not a jet.
so 16 games a season. Then take into account games missed with injury. Sounds like a perfectly reasonable amount of games to play in 7 seasons.
 
Christ we are losing injury prone Blake Acres after half a good season not Caleb Serong.

We'll cover him with someone and survive.
Cover him with who exactly? We are at a net loss by losing him. We aren't going to replicate what we did this year by blooding 2 new players in the midfield. If we are better off in the long run than so be it.

When Acres has his best season after his first off season putting in elite effort and then doesn't want a contract rewarding elite effort in the off-season leading to performance instead opting for the guaranteed pay - I understand the choice.

I also expect Carlton to get business as usual Blake

That won’t happen. Some
People mature between the ears late. He’s clearly a late bloomer in terms of work ethic. I don’t expect he’ll regress, if anything he’ll progress. His finals form and early season form have been elite. We blame his poor inside 50s on him, when our forwards are shithouse winning one on ones. Same thing use to happen with Langdon. Then suddenly he’s a gun T Melbourne. Very annoying.
 
I'm saying that players sign a power of attorney to empower their manager (agent) to handle their dealings and agreements with clubs and the AFL, and they also sign that power to business managers who make their financial decisions for them.

Not all of them engage a controlling manager but some of the player agents advise their more, let's say athletically gifted and academically developing players to protect their futures with a business manager who acts like a conservator.
Pretty sure they showed Mac Andrews management doing just that in documentary on last year's trade period.

The role and the application are two different issues with Blake.

He could still tag along with the other guys at Freo going to the trainer in the off season here I guess.
 
Nor for Lobb.
Really annoyed with how Bell and co handled Acres.

We have no idea how he treated acres.
Not like they didn’t offer him a contract.

People forget how poor he was before this year. Last year had only 5 games over 20 touches and only 2 goals. Was dropped once too. First year was injured then came back and dropped twice.

Has he had a good year? Yes.
Is it because he’s out of contract? Maybe.
Has he proved he deserves more money on a longer deal? No
 
I keep reading that the Eagles will need to get AFL permission to use their pick 2 in a trade if they want to get involved in the Jackson stakes. Why in hell would the AFL ever agree to that as it would set a precedent and what justification is there, because they only won a premiership in 2018 so they are so disadvantaged, their Administration and Management used the picks and should have to abide by the draft rules.
They would be using it on a young player which is grounds for approval anyway

Chapman.

David Walls ... “Time in the midfield is also an option both inside and on the wing. He’s still very young, he’s learning the position he’s in and he can lock that down and know it inside out, but in time he’ll be able to go through the midfield, play inside and on the wing no worries as well.”

Disappointed Acres is leaving but there are options within the playing list, Chapman at 193cm with a solid preseason, being just one of them.
 
Anyone not willing to buy in and push for a maiden flag when the future looks this bright can absolutely **** right off.

If that's their attitude, could they be counted on to put their body on the line in a big moment or push an extra 1% risking injury to win or halve a crucial contest in a big final?

Nope?

Off ye fcuk.
 
This Luke Jackson kid better get my knickers wet because so far he's torn our club to shreds.
