Re: Acres
Pretty much although Membrey doesn't have Blakes speed, agility & evasiveness. Blake has the athletic profile to be a full time mid, Membrey doesn't.Proph3t of egan wrote:You just described membreyMyron Gaines wrote:I actually think Acres could become a very good third tall.

Re: Acres
Acres is not 6'4" that much I know
Paddy is not 6'5" either
Not sure what exaggerating their height does anyway? Does it make them better players??
Acres is going ok, just needs to keep it simple with the footy.

Re: Acres
Agree. I'm just commenting on that fact I think he could play there. 80/20 mid/fwd split like Danger/Martin would be perfect.Proph3t of egan wrote:So why waste him as a third tall?Myron Gaines wrote:Pretty much although Membrey doesn't have Blakes speed, agility & evasiveness.

The Saints site for height & weight of players is outdated. Roo 193?

Re: Acres
His versatility is good, but we have plenty of players to fill in that role, rooey being on top of that list. Leave him to have a bit of freedom around the ground i reckonMyron Gaines wrote:Agree.

Re: Acres
Mids that can push forward when required as marking targets and to the heavy in traffic work are very valuable...ie The Bont last night did just that to get the Dogs back in the game.Myron Gaines wrote:Agree.

It is not a "third tall"" but rather a mid who can do damage when he presses forward.

Re: Acres
Is not disappearing from games as much which is pleasing. Seems to be covering the ground better as you see him marking down back then being high in the forward line. You still feel like he doesn't quite know his own strength yet - when he does - look out.
And you give these young guys more responsibility in the middle with more freedom they repay you. Same as Robbo without Demps there, they are forced to step up in responsibility and take the game on more instead of leaving it to others.
