Food for thought.
What are you on about? 8cres is listed at 190cm and McCartin at 194cm.
He was recruited at 190, he's 193 now. Paddy 195.

I actually think Acres could become a very good third tall. He has fantastic hands & is obviously very mobile.
You just described membrey

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.

So why waste him as a third tall?

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.

We need a gun mid, not a third tall

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.

No it doesn't make them a better player.

The Saints site for height & weight of players is outdated.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

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 reckon

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.

If we want a 3rd tall we will have plenty of opportunity in this years draft to get on.

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

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.

Have your heart in your mouth when he runs into trouble and you think oh dear hes going to stuff this up and then he wriggles or bursts through or gives a dont argue.
Can be very exciting. Will be a beast when he is 25 and stronger.
