Re: Acres

Keep him I’ve gone cold on the Hill deal, we’ll be paying overs and I’m sick to death of us getting screwed over by other clubs at this time of year. Yep, I loved it yesterday when we traded pick 6 but we need to now hold our nerve and make it happen on our terms. 1st round this and a 2nd round nex...

Re: Acres

Acres has been deployed in the F50 (including having to contest in the ruck) Plus has been used lining up on the edge of the centre square, so as a wing player for lack of a better description noting Melbourne’s comment that they tried 15 thru that position without success last season and have now ...

Re: Acres

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjARA6_GSm8 Thanks for the video JB. I love how the description says he ‘fits the prototype of the modern midfielder’ yet he has barely played in the middle since. The coaching staff should have developed him into a weapon. I really want to see him have a crack under...

Acres

Goddard has the turning circle of the Queen Mary hence deployed as a quarter back If he was so good why was he used in that role and not in the “guts” He was generally a good ball user but his possessions were usually accrued in the spare quarter back role including by demanding the ball as the fre...

Not competitive enough for starters. BJ was a figgin maniac.
Was just pointing out that it took some time for Goddard to realise his potential.

It took years for BJ to realise his potential.

Re: Acres

I admit that I am biased, Acres is one of my favourites. Has been for some time. Like TtT says, he has been really important in our wins. One of a select few that looks to advantage. Big bodied plays can take some time. Cripps and Bont are exceptions, not the rule. I know people want instant superst...

Re: Acres

I really want to see Acres for one more year under a new coach.

Also not fussed if we don’t get Hill. His highlight package is great, but the don’t think his 4 quarter efforts are worth selling the farm.

Re: An award for Spud’s Legacy

Most awards are for players that are the best at something. Like best and fairest, most goals, best mark, best goal, etc... The Danny Frawley award, whatever it may be, should be recognition of someone that champions mental health. It could be anyone. Maybe not just an AFL listed player. Just... any...

I like the sentiment Ape. And the idea isn't a bad one either.

An award for Spud’s Legacy

Across social media people are calling for the Golden Fist to become an official award. Whilst I love this idea, I would really love the AFL to create a Danny Frawley award that recognises a players community work on mental health issues. Spud was such an inspiration. His strength in speaking openly...

I've no dramas about getting an untried coach, afterall, all the flags since 2010 have been won by untried coaches. 2008 Clarkson would like a word. That's the same Clarkson that features in 2013, 2014 & 2015 isn't it? The same untried Clarkson appointed to coach Hawthorn in 2004? My point bein...

Re: Lessons from the Blues

An underdone Steven and a very slow Lonie really cost us today.

We were abysmal just outside 50.

I hate to say it, but the long bomb was our best choice most of the game.

Re: Will Jack Steven play senior football again in 2019?

I would love Stuv to stay, but he owes us nothing. He has won games off his own boot and put his heart and soul into this club. If he wants a change we should do everything to make it happen. It’s probably not going to be a first round pick. He is a couple of years beyond that. A potential young gun...

Marshall stepped up in the second half to match Gawn and looks like he his going to continue with it. Not oft...

Hunter Clark will be one of these guns very soon. He has shown over the past month that he is special and wins his own ball with style.
He looks to find the best option too.

Saying that, we missed Acres massively tonight.
