My favorite player since the day he was drafted. I just see how much of a weapon he could be. Wins the ball, hard to tackle, is building quite a tank, good above his head and a super reliable set shot.
Makes quite a few silly errors still... Maturity will help.
Gets torched on this forum but I see him as our Curnow. Regularly involved in our scoring chains. Run him through the middle and rest forward... Let him loose!
Could really be anything IMO

Re: Blake
Yep. Torched by people who have no idea about footy. He has become a man and is turning A grade. Billings included. A fantastic selection at the draft. Love his big body and how he glides around opponents.portosaint wrote:My favorite player since the day he was drafted. I just see how much of a weapon he could be.

Re: Blake
No disrespect to Seb or Stuv but I see Billings, Gresh & Acres as the most likely to become genuine A-graders for us.
Billings & Gresh look like locks.
Have heard that Blake has joined the party boys at the club a little bit. Hopefully he avoids the traps.

Re: Blake
Very happy to see this kid beginning to realise his potential. Could be our version of a Dusty/Danger/Fyfe type in a season or two. Not that I want to put any pressure on the kid.

Re: Blake
Acres has it all but one thing ... AWARENESS
HE GETS awareness he becomes afl star!!
Unfortunetly he is a saints player and we have zero coaching talent. His talent will be wasted.
He’ll be an ok player for years. But wih no awareness never dominate the comp like dusty or danger

Re: Blake
Acres also played the 2nd half with 10 stitches in his hand after he cut it sliding into the fence after 1/2 time. Fair effort!
Go you red, black & white warriors

Re: Blake
No doubt... he's going to be a superb talent...
By the end of this season barring injury he will be in your top five easily.
There is so much to like , so much upside at this stage of his career he's every bit as good as anyone

Re: Blake
8cres was at both ends of the ground yesterday (sometimes in the same play) so his tank is definitely getting there.
As ex-president Peter Summers said:
“If we are going to be a contender, we may as well plan to win the bloody thing.”
St Kilda - At least we have a Crest!

Re: Blake
He is only 22 also. Same as JB.
They both the potential to become superstars.

Yep, and if Freeman comes good as well, we will be in clover.
Big maybe, but he should he alright after latest surgery.
