Yes, it’s hard not to conclude that Richo prefers others.on the outer wrote: ↑Thu 19 Jul 2018 8:09pmDon’t buy the five day excuse, why name acres as an emergency if that was the case.

Re: No acres....
Why would you change a winning team when he wasn’t knocking the door down at Sandy, and probably needs another week.

Re: No acres....
As much as I would love to have Acres in the team I actually think they’ve made the right decision, 5 days just wasn’t long enough for a bloke that’s missed 3 months of footy.
I think they might have realised this kid will be our best player by the end of 2019, bar none.

Devonport and Weller have the same body type so that's in Craig's favor.

Acres isn't going anywhere and is contracted for another 2 years I think. He signed a 5 year deal in his 2nd or 3rd year from memory. The kid is just recovering from a 3 month lay off. He will be back when in form and fully fit. No point risking him at the end of the year against the best side in the comp at the moment. Makes sense.

Re: No acres....
If this happens the club can get well and truely f***ed, this kid will be an A Grade player. It’s no good getting Gaff in if we have to give away any of our top end talent.bigcarl wrote: ↑Fri 20 Jul 2018 4:11pmIs it the swap him for Gaff plan?IluvHarvey wrote: ↑Fri 20 Jul 2018 2:53pmI have this awful feeling that you may be right....The_President wrote: ↑Fri 20 Jul 2018 1:16am Mark this in your book.

Re: No acres....
Don't be too positive there.
They have to play somewhere this week if they are get in the seniors. There is more chance of a bloke getting injured in the AFL compared the VFL.

Re: No acres....
Totally agree about not risking him. No point. I just have this feeling that he is looked at as "trade value" and I feel the club may be ruthless at years end.parkeysainter wrote: ↑Fri 20 Jul 2018 4:29pmGaff is a free agent so there will be no trade if he leaves for any club.bigcarl wrote: ↑Fri 20 Jul 2018 4:11pmIs it the swap him for Gaff plan?IluvHarvey wrote: ↑Fri 20 Jul 2018 2:53pmI have this awful feeling that you may be right....The_President wrote: ↑Fri 20 Jul 2018 1:16am Mark this in your book.

Re: No acres....
Why would we name a player as an emergency if they aren't fit enough to play?
He was in our best 5 players this year before getting injured… if he's fit he should be a walk up start, not getting dicked around in the VFL.

My fears around Acres has nothing to do with him not being selected this week.

I have heard that the club will be keen to trade into the draft this year, and looking at the list there a very few players that have value to do so.
I also note that the poor kid has been asked to play every position under the sun and it appears that the Coaching staff are a bit lost as to what to do with him.
Noting that he has a large amount of value, is from WA (not saying he wants to go home but maybe wouldn't be against it if it was suggested) and the Coaching staff can't decide how to use him, I fear he may be one who is traded out by the end of the year. 100% Do not want this to happen. My son has #8 on his jumper for gods sake. Let's not even get into how scared I am to have that conversation with a youngster who has a teddy called Blacres.
