Re: Acres interest for home?

Re: It's official......Paddy has shown how he can make it

I've probably been Paddy McCartin's biggest knocker over the past couple of years but for me the best thing to come out of yesterday's game was Paddy's performance and the potential upside to his game. Let's face it, he's been overweight the whole time he's been at the club, but now he's trimmed do...

Re: Acres interest for home?

IMHO Acres has the potential highest upside of anyone on our list baring Max King. (And Max King is, IMHO, very high risk due to his knee injury specifically, and his body type in general.) I would only be clearing Blake if he wants out. And fortunately, it seems that he doesn't. BTW, if the above t...

At the end of the day, if Dan himself and the club does everything to get him on the park the majority of games then they can do no more. Its all we can ask for as supporters.

They're money men because they're smart. They would have to be stupid to put any money into your pipe dream. The JO you refer to is gone. Gone for good.
