Everyone thinking after a solid outing on the weekend we are stealing the next coming of Peter Matera the best winger to ever play AFL from Freo or something?

Gee Acres is a handy role player and an upgrade on O’Brien in terms of everything bar foot skills imo but he’s no more than a middle of the road role player.

He’s right in what he says though.
In terms of importance to them they’d well and truly have Brayshaw, Serong, Cox, Pearce, Young, Ryan and Tabener ahead of Acres. Then Darcy Brodie, Clark, Chapman all ahead too, and that’s just off the top of my head.
Just a headline grab that line. He won't be in our top 10 if he ends up with us. Role player and might not be any better than what we have if our wingers go the next step

I don't think anyone thinks that. From what I can see pretty much everyone is aligned when it comes to the calibre of footballer Acres is.
 
From everything I’ve read since Saturday night people are head over heels thinking he’s a steal cause he got a few stats on the weekend.
If he was better than average he wouldn’t be the kind Freo would be low balling in his ‘prime’ regardless of Jackson. If he was worthwhile of keeping in their minds they’d be coughing up the extra 100k a year or whatever it took, plenty of ways to clear salary cap space on a list.

So, where we are at now:

Senior List: 33
Rookie List: 5
Rookie B: 1 (removed Owies, who cannot stay on Rookie B list, is likely now on senior list)
33+5=38, max=42. So 4 places now free, along with one free spot on the Rookie B list.

Waiting new contracts:
Senior List: Marchbank, Setterfield, Fogarty, Ed Curnow (4)
Rookie List: none
Rookie B: Akuei (1)

Edit: Removed LOB & Boyd from "waiting new contracts"
Edit2: Removed Cottrell, Durdin, Owies, Honey from "waiting new contracts". Assume Owies must now be on Senior List.
Edit3: Removed Cuningham from "waiting new contracts".
Updated again.

After a bit of contracting action, we are down to the following players left to either sign-up or say bye to.

I'm just going to give my opinion here:

2022
8.
Lachie Fogarty - delist - doesn't offer enough, give the other kids a go instead
22.
Caleb Marchbank - sign up - all that work to get him back from injury, he's not going anywhere!
35.
Ed Curnow - delist, I don't understand why there's a need to keep him on the list for 2023
41.
Domanic Akuei (Cat B Rookie) - keep as rookie
43.
Will Setterfield - sign up, too good to let go for nothing and would be a great backup
 
How about this..is this a fair hypothetical trade...for both teams...

Blues get Josh Diacos and Ollie Henry

Collingwood get Harry McKay

???

I say yes!

Even happy with just Josh Diacos as the trade.

Am I crazy?

Yes. Neither club says yes to that deal.

Agree with all this.

So wrapping my head around the list figures that Bletch posted:

If we re-sign Marchbank and add Acres that only leaves 2 list spots to fill at the draft.

That would almost certainly mean that Fogarty and Ed get delisted and Setterfield traded.

Unless we plan on trading out a contracted player, it seems like we’re making minimal significant ‘upgrades’ to the list. Instead we are backing in another pre-season of improving the game plan and hoping for a healthier list next year.
 
My former bosses neighbour (Alanna I think her name is) was dating Acres 4/5 years ago when he was at the Saints. Not sure if still together. Not that it means a lot, but she spoke about him so glowingly. My boss had a 2 and 4 year old at the time and he was always over playing with the kids, she said back then he had no ego and was really down to earth. I think the type person the club would want for adding culture.
Also the neighbour was stunner, lucky fella
