Blake Acres

[Ge3ks]

I see Blake as a very versatile, big bodied player. He brings good energy to the club, the training sessions and on field. If he is pushed out of the best 22, then that is a good thing for the club's recruiters. We need players competing with each other for spots. If he is required as part of the best 22 due to others being injured or lacking form, or he just plays so well he can't be dropped, then I am glad we have him on our list. And being pushed out of the 22 may be good for Blake personally. Motivation to work harder. We need depth. We need a player that can play multiple positions. Blake has shown he can be that guy.

Has massive limitations (mainly dumping the ball randomly) but definitely toughened up as the year went on.
Handy depth for the moment- if he tidies up his ball use or can be more effective forward he'd be in my best 22.

How much hope are you applying to that????

He has shithouse awareness I reckon.

Is that anything like hamstring awareness?

I've got a coupla acres

I reckon if this thread gets bumped and it's not to link news of him being delisted, we should ban whoever bumps it for baiting us.

I agree.

Snuffaluphagus you know what to do.

God his kicking was appalling. Thought he was ok mid year

 

[Kram]

Yeah despite briefly showing some glimpses he's 100% a list clogger I reckon.

Inconsistent skills, poor awareness and a lack of courage. Not the quickest bloke either?

Maybe a bit too harsh but seriously what does he offer?

A big body???

 

[Joao]

He can play but for some reason he can't do it week in week out and that will end him.

Now that Carlton supporters have educated us on what SPS is worth we really need to cash in and trade this Acres goldmine we're sitting on. He's too valuable to be sitting in the ressies.

 

[Retzlaff]

Hopefully he requests a trade back to Melbourne for family reasons. Not everyone likes their family

Acres played the last game. So whatever SPS is worth you can add an early second to Acres price.

Not best 22 but decent enough depth. It's why we have 38 on a list. Can't all be best 22.

Yeah but you don't need to sign a guy in that position to a Three. Year. Deal.

 

[basashi]

what did we know when we got him?
- 75 games over 6 years at a club that was finishing outside top 8. Didn't make the top ten in their mvp in any year.

since we got him?
- roughly in line with the above.

Unless you want 3. Years. Of. Quality. Depth.
