What does that even mean?
Logue was worth an early second round pick and that’s what we got.
You were wrong. Again.

I've flip-flopped on Acres a few times so I held my breath while I checked what I had writtten in this thread... but, yep, I'm pretty happy with this take. I bet there's a lot of Carlton fans starting to feel the same now.

I did. I have always had issues with his disposals by foot. And these issues are still present at Carlton. It is hurting the Blues the same way it hurt us.
In response to the Blake Acres fanboy, rgauci - 'Don’t blame the inadequacies of our forward line on Acres'
Blake is a big body that can run all day and win his own ball, but his disposals are just so ineffectual. He does no damage.

what about that dumb arse richardson repeatedly saying he is the best user of the ball to the blues forward line, must be watching from the bar
So you didn't give up on the season either and correctly tipped all of our 4 wins as well!
Sorry, I must have been looking for the Banfield thread
I was firmly in the keep column. Made no sense to get rid of him when our replacement was Hughes. We look a lot better now that Driz is running the wings (even when he's not racking up touches, he's much more natural there than other options) and giving johnson/erasmus a go too.
Acres plays well when the team around him is playing well. We saw that earlier in the year with Carlton. I think if we kept him on he would be playing well right now for us too. That being said, he does not feel like a major loss for us at the moment, not nearly as much as he did earlier in the year. Will be even better if we maintain our current form and Carlton theirs.

Maybe that's the learning here. We see the loss of a player and what he brings, without context of who is in the wings (pun intended)
The club would have been confident that we have enough coverage with players that are a better fit than acres. And despite his hard running and creating options - we are better off without him and his long bombs?

Anybody still missing Acres?

Carlton.

Has been a big part of their turn around and was excellent yesterday
Nah. He's the sort of guy that looks better on a good team. Was very good yesterday, but he's not really responsible for their turnaround at all.
