Will begin to hit his straps soon. Watch him once he gets to about 80 games.

He'll be a match winner.

This fella is becoming a good player.

Those media morons who were so keen on him
returning home to WA
can all go and get knotted.
Brad Hardie and the rest of the idiots


2020 was an aberration, when we travelled twice to Adelaide and won both, beat Tigers early, beat our bogey Swans. 2021 we've returned to our old ways. Damn

FANTASTIC! The club is going ahead in the right direction by retaining young guys like Blake Acres! Well done Saints!

It's always a good sign when players in demand want to stay. People have been complaining that we have not been able to attract a 'big fish' but we could be losing players, which we are not, so it could be a lot worse.

Hardie is one of those idiots common in the media, like Barrett,
who makes up rubbish in order to generate clicks.
The more response he gets, the happier his bosses are, the happier the shareholders are.
He is using the AFL as a cash cow, and somebody should publicly 'out' him as a pure attention seeker.
He's like a panel beater doing a rain dance every morning, hoping for wet weather,
so there's more crashes= more income for him.
Except Hardie + Barrett actually have that influence.

Great news... Blake has only played 44 games his improvement in the next 3 years will be very exciting.
Modern proto type mid fielder... you will be hearing a lot more about this boy moving forward.

Great news. 8cres could be the next combined Fyfe and Dusty. :D

Well there's a bit of hype about him because we can see the type of player he could become. Let's hope they let him loose in the guts and see what happens.

So I guess our pay structure top 10 looks something like:

Steven
Carlisle
Roberton
Bruce
Ross
Billings
Newnes
Geary
Steele
Acres

Quite an important signing in the grand scheme of things. Arguably the player with the most potential on the list.

You see glimpses of it. When he breaks through tackles with apparent ease and then runs through lines.

Coaches riding him harder than most. If he went to another club you just know that he would blossom and drive you absolutely crazy for years to come.

He's not matched the hype as yet, but he keeps developing, and that's a good thing.


Clueless and mediocre petty tyrant.

It's good to retain players with excellent prospects of significant improvement in them. It's still early days for Blake.

I don't care who is in the top 10 just so long as they are not taking more than 60% of the salary cap between them.
That alone cost us premierships in our last window.

Now that I am old and know so much more, I know that I know so much about so little, and so little about so much.
