Always rated him.
For whatever, just couldn’t take the next step while wearing the RWB.
Seems to have finally gone to the next level at Carlton.
Good on him.

Re: Blake Acres
Went up a gear at Freo but hasn’t quite been able to maintain consistency. I think that was his best ever game in terms of disposals
Re: Blake Acres
Well, we now have Wood who is an improvement
The only negative being the age of Wood versus Acres
Wood is superior overhead - and, as I put on these sites, the area Acres needed to improve on to become very good if not elite
Carlton have got a good player from (originally) St Kilda
St Kilda have got a very good player from North Melbourne
So the loss of Acres is less painful
To digress, a look at the Premiership Table shows we have beaten two and lost to one of the top 8 (currently)
We have beaten 3 of those currently out of the 8
And we have not played any of the bottom 4
I haven’t looked to see who we play twice - or if we go to Geelong again this year (one week at a time and all that - plus St Kilda being St Kilda)

Re: Blake Acres
Acres is the sort of player who looks good playing for the sort of team that we were from 2012-2020. Which is exactly what Carlton is right now.
He wouldn't get a spot in the team that ran out last night, let along the team we will have when more of our injured players are available.

Re: Blake Acres
Good luck to him!
Carlton can keep him. I’m quite happy they gave us Stocker and Caminiti
