Acres should never play vfl again

[St Loxton]

Skills are sublime, smooth and just gets to the right areas.
Has to stay in the seniors.

[saintjake]

100% he's so damn good.

[longtimesaint]

for some reason he seems to ne the first one dropped.
Templeton should have been the sub today.

[Saintlester]

No disrespect to Eli but probably should not have been picked in the first place. Needs a string of good VFL form first. Acres looks to be quality and after seeing his run on the boundary and left foot give in the last he also looks quicker than we thought. Needs games now.

[gringo]

He looked very good, used his running really well today.

[Griggsy]

Did very well for half a game in a losing team.

[saintspremiers]

Eli will be dropped.

Acres best is next year, and it will be special I reckon

[Con Gorozidis]

Acres was good and we were swimming against the tide in the 2nd half. Give him a go when we are actually winning and he will tear it up.
Hes awesome at clearances.

Great signs. Think he has to realise he's not sill playing under 18's though. A bit more intensity and first option stuff would be good until he works the pace out. Don't think it will take him too long. Bright future. Hope he doesn't get home sick.

He re signed for 4 years

[The_Merchant]

Was surprised by his pace. Looked genuinely quick at stages. Promising game.

Loved that passage of play in the last quarter when he took on two near the boundary and just motored through them. So cool headed for a kid.

Thats just how he plays. Hes never going to look 'intense' like Weller or Nate Wright.
He is going to look cool like Pendlebury. It doesn't mean hes not trying his hardest. It's just how he is.

[sunsaint]

Ive been on his wagon since the NAB
great potential

[seano1]

looks the goods now time to give Goddard a few games...........can you see Goddard handballing to D Mac who passes to Acres........Bruce will think it so special

[Junction Oval]

There is some great potential in Blake for the future. Hopefully, with his silky skills, he will be a major long term contributor for us.

He has built up his body quite a lot since last year and does not easily get pushed off the ball now.

[remboy]

Shouldn't be the sub either. Needs as much game time as he can get. I get the feeling we're seeing the beginnings of some very long careers. Stay patient people. We're in the process of building a side and it's coming together nicely.

[Bernard Shakey]

Cool head and great skills!

A very smooth mover,a lot like Pendlebury , as someone said earlier, should play a fair chunk of the remaining games.

[stjay]

Smooth operator - very Pendles like. Is going to be a cracker.
Needs more game time.
Needs to start next week.

Agree with this...not to much the intensity, because as Con said, it's how he looks...but his 1st descision making in traffic at afl pace is still a bit suss, but I've no doubt will become elite in time. Should get a full game. Hard to compare to Eli who played defensive forward. Hope both become regular fixtures, but only based on performance!

[plugger66]

Hope he doesn't play VFL again but if he is poor in the AFL I hope they drop him like any other player.

[Jacks Back]

8 Acres (or 8cres ) looks to be a very good player and hopefully there will be no need to think about dropping him.
