I was surprised when I heard that. Sounds like Freo needed to free up salary cap space and by doing this expected him to look elsewhere. I heard that he will be getting around $350,000 a year with us which is not much these days.Far out, I wouldn’t stick around being lowballed at $180k either. And I’m not all that good at what I do.
Oh OK then...
Clear as Crystal…This could be the start of a real “Dynasty”.
Other than Hamish and Lively, name me a single good Blake...
It's one of the best mateLiteral tears running down my face
All my favourite shows getting referenced... first Blakes 7 and then On the Busses - I feel all nostalgic.
New Blue Blake Acresis confident he will fit in well at Carlton after being traded from Fremantle on Tuesday.PLAYERCARDSTART13Blake Acres

The 26-year-old wingman will return to Victoria to play for Carlton in 2023 in exchange for a future third-round pick after a career-best season at Fremantle this year and said he had already spoken with his future teammates, including former Docker Adam Cerra and Blues captain Patrick Cripps.PLAYERCARDSTART9Patrick Cripps

“I had a few texts with him [Cerra] ... I just sort of checked in with him seeing how he’s going and just sort of throw it out there that there’s a potential I’ll be going into Carlton next season and he said he’d be pumped, and yeah, it wasn’t a huge conversation with him.
“I had a few convos with Crippa [Cripps] as well and a few of the other guys there. And I know a few of them and they’re all good fellas. So, I feel like I’ll be able to fit in right straight away,” Acres said.
the numbers don't lie and he has been racking up the numbers all year against the best in the league....and beating his man.
Good pick up guys. Pretty much a free swing for a 3rd. He's big-bodied and will massively help you defensively, especially on transition where you've been pretty poor.
Delivery leaves a bit to be desired, but he can put it i50 from a mile out (and a mile up), so Curnow and Harry should have plenty to jump at. Not seen him perform well in a non-contract year, but that could be due to being *ed around at the Saints, then taking time to settle and grow into the wing role at Freo. If it is you'll have one of the recruits of the year, if not you'll have a player that was probably worth a 4th rounder.
Catch you guys next year for another humdinger or two!

Addresses one of our last major concerns on the list - one of the wing positions. Just need to find someone who can consistently fill the other wing and we’ll be right as rain.
Pumped about this acquisition
No doubt he had a very good year. That doesn't alleviate my concerns, if anything it heightens them.
We need a small forward who can finish consistently, a decent ruck who can impact up forward, a backup kpf. A damaging medium forward would be nice too.
No current season stats available
vs Ed Langdon:No doubt he had a very good year. That doesn't alleviate my concerns, if anything it heightens them.
The good thing is none of those cost as much as other positions - and we may have 3 out of 4 on our list already but need a lot more natural development
We should be able to bring in pretty good talent with picks 10 and 29 so we could be heading for real tight competition for best 22 spots.
