Very true. 35m in the clear.
Imagine if Milne saw him how different things would be

Ahhh good ol' Clint Jones... what a funny campaignerSomebody's happy...
Greetings Sainters! Had a query re Blake Acres. I've seen him play in the flesh a few times (at both AFL level and here in WA) and have been very impressed, but where has he been all year?
Starting to see the nucleus of your 2020 side in Bruce, Newnes, Ross, McCartin, Goddard, Dunstan, Lonie etc. and I am green with envy. Ameet Bains, Matt Finnis and Richo are the right blokes for the job. Good luck

He's still very raw. Has been playing very well at VFL level but fitness at AFL level is a massive issue. If he plays a full game he usually has a good first quarter then fades, or if he comes on as the sub he'll find plenty of the pill in a quarter or so. Some demand a spot in the team straight away like Billings, Dunstan, Sinclair, Lonie etc and others like Acres, Ross need time. We were confident enough in him after one season to sign him til the end of 2018 so he's definitely got that!Greetings Sainters! Had a query re Blake Acres.

He's also struggled to get fully fit. I'm sure he would have played a lot more this year if he weren't injured so often.
Going to be great to see him get full game time without the sub rule even if it's just spread thinly over the match.
We have some more pain before we can expect this rebuild to be over. There is still a number of older guys who will retire or be traded over the next two years and be replaced by drafted kids. At least two more years of building before the raise.

I would think if Roberton and Newnes have only the potential to be "B graders" then they have already reached their potential. Savage is much closer to the completed product than some others on that list. I'm not sure Lonie will ever be more than a really good small forward - would we be unhappy he if played 150-200 games as a rich-man's Aaron Davey? McKenzie's a difficult one because he is so good by hand. Dunstan is just suffering second year blues, coupled with a complete change in body shape over the last pre-season. He'll be much better next year.
We still need one or two more absolute A-grade midfielders though.

One of the most exciting things about footy is that any of them have the potential to be stars, well the ones with football brains anyhow. I'm buying some tickets on the Lewis Pierce express!
Jimmy Webster could be one of the best small/medium defenders in the comp in a few years.

With the addition of Carlisle or another big bodies young defender or some ability and one more A grade midfielder bringing in high end talent through the draft now and FA in 2017/18 then our 2018-2024 looks promising.
My gut feel says Mckenzie will be the surprise packet of the lot
Agreed
