That old chestnut.
St Kilda midfielder Blake Acre agrees to join Fremantle to unlock Bradley Hill trade deadlock
Saint set to pick Hill trade deadlock by agreeing to Fremantle movewww.foxsports.com.au
"Acres confided in those close to him that he had no choice but to explore the Dockers option but was deeply hurt by St Kilda’s manoeuvre, which will take him away from close friends and a club which has been his home for six years. He is said to feel as if the club backed him into a corner, but is also pragmatic about the opportunities a fresh start will bring."
Gone in 36 hours: The phone call that changed Docker's career
Fremantle recruit Blake Acres has hit his strides in recent weeks after an interrupted start to his Dockers careerwww.afl.com.au
"I was pretty settled in Melbourne at the time, but for footy and my professional career it was a really good fit for me. To be able to play the position I wanted to play in for my entire career and not get moved around and play the ruck, and a deep forward role at times and play consistent minutes on the ground [was appealing]."

And you're proving my point. Players still want to win. Unless your club develops a loser culture like ours did and the players will stick around for the extra 5-700k over their careers.
This exactly.
Hope he doesn't go to Essendon then...
The point I am making is that quite simple - Acres was an overpaid underperformer at St Kilda who would have been getting $500k+ in 2019 to play at Sandy.Not sure what point you're trying to make, but assume you'd be happy if we give fremantle a 1st, 2nd, 3rd & 4th rounder for Henry but then throw in Byrnes as a sweetener?
Acres was a slow burn 2019 was a poor year hampered by playing in the ruck, but he'd played some pretty elite games in his time with us.
2016 rd 22 26 disposals, 8 marks, 7 tackles
2017 rd 7 23 disposals, 8 marks, 3 tackles, 2 goals
2017 rd 20 30 disposals, 5 marks, 6 tackles, 1 goal
2017 rd 22 30 disposals, 4 marks, 3 tackles, 1 goal
2018 rd 1 30 disposals, 9 marks, 4 tackles, 1 goal
Byrnes is going okay, but we haven't seen anything remotely like these games yet. Good athlete, meat and potatoes… decent utility.
BTW It's not having a sook 5 years later, it was absolutely said at the time. Probably prefer Serong & Acres (plus 3 picks) in the side than Wood & Hill personally. We're still talking about it now because that trade has set us back years, we paid absurd overs to look like a destination club.

This is not true he was very happy in Melbourne. He wasn’t devastated to have to go back bc his family and friends were there but he certainly didn’t suggest/ask for it. In fact he was totally in shock about the trade - last minute as it was.
Also traded out of 2017 for Austin then bought another one off Port for Clav. Though Battle is still going and Long went for Hotton. Still an awful return
He had one moment where he ran through the middle of the ground against Freo and people have been waiting, no, expecting that he's capable of that every time he gets the ball and they won't let go.
Looks bad till you remember Stuv was cooked, GOAT was meh, Jill was super meh and Bruce was a dickhead.
