What really appeals about Acres is he's both an athlete and natural footy player. Reading a bit up on him, his dad and uncle were both champion runners (800m) and his aunty a bronze medal winning swimmer at the Commonwealth Games in 1990. He looks to have some good genetics getting 15.2 in the beep test in the state screenings earlier in the year.
From a footy point of view, Blake looks like a natural having good awareness, decision making skills, natural football winning ability and skills. He looks like the complete package and a more complete and safer option than Marcus Bontempelli. He actually reads like a top 5 draft pick and going off knightmares analysis he sees him as becoming the best midfielder from this draft.
