I'm with Plugger on this one. Armitage would be my choice next year. Sorry to admit this, but whilst watching the Pt Adelaide game I saw Geary turn the ball over quite a few times...and I thought...gee...I wish Acres would develop enough to take Geary's place in the team. Longer term, I've got an e...

Amazing that Luke Dunstan, 32 games in with a Rising Star nomination and Brownlow votes under his belt already, only has 7 votes while Blake Acres has 12. Sounds like a lot considering Acres has shown very little in his 8 games so far. Short memories? Or has Dunstan's second year really been that b...

The next captain is Armo and it will probably be next season. There is no way a like Weller or newness would get it next. What makes you think Roo won't keep it next year? I have always thought he would keep it until we have an obvious replacement. Surely we now have the obvious replacement. Hmmm. ...

I can't see us going for Prestia seeing as he's under contract. He'd cost far too much and I doubt GC would offer him up. I don't think we are completely out of the picture for Treloar. We'd likely have to pay more than the Pies to get his attention. I think people are talking about Prestia being O...

Surely his last year

Acres is very much in the clubs longterm plans. He's signed up until the end of 2018.

24 years old and can't get a game for a team that's been entrenched near the bottom of the ladder for the past 3 years. Pay his contract out and delist him.

I'm not usually a Matty Lloyd fan but loved what he said about Paddy: "I've never seen a guy use his body and be so aggressive for such a young man". While Dermut was dressing like he was 21 and trying to pick up drunk and leg less 18 year olds, Lloyd spent a couple of years at the AIS wor...

While Trout and co are watching hours and hours of u18 footy live and and even more footage on videos, Dermie is snorting coke in seedy pubs off toilet seats. The putrid picks opinion is less than worthless.

In Acres Ross Membrey
Out Templeton Schneider Riewoldt

In 2005 or thereabouts Dermie threw Chris Pelchen against the wall and hurled abuse at him for recruiting Luke Hodge. True story. Was Pelchen even there in that period and was that his job? He didn't rejoin the Hawks till late 2005 but I don't know when he was there before then. You're right, P66. ...

Despite Moore booting 5 I don't particularly rate him as a longterm key forward and didn't throughout his junior career. He's athletically gifted but has always struggled to get much of the ball. Longterm I see his best footy being in the back half as a dour defender. Like Boyd earlier this year boo...

Dees should have picked one mid and Lever. Absolute gun player. Has captain written all over him. Roos doesn't pick talls with early picks...but agree. Lever will be a star. Prior to doing his knee he was considered a top 3 lock. There was talks we were considering trading 1 and 21 for 4 and 7. If ...

Dear me, never has there been a clearer case of people deliberately missing the point than some on here. To even imagine that a white person being called an Alpaca in Australia is the same as a Black person being called an ape. That is pure ignorance of the issue. I'm not hysterical for pointing th...

Der mutt is a bully and a flog. Id like to fight him.

No - he has shin splints and we are being cautious. Soft tissue injuries are far more of a concern. Billings is fine in that regard.

Goodes getting booed has a racist undertone. Those booing likely don't even realise they are racists it's that engrained in them. Society doesn't like the fact an aboriginal is so outspoken about his culture and that racism still exists in society. Society demands Goodes 'get back in his box', where...

yeah dunno old mate i did think of him as i was typing but tbh i have nfi what his age is etc look, i prob wouldnt keep him on is he a RFA? a FA? whats left on the contract? if i saw chips schneides and ray go at the end of the year i wouldnt be upset about it got a feeling schneides just might han...
