Any clubs interested in him?

Any clubs interested in him?

Only every one of them.

 

[Obeanie1]

Maybe I should rephrase has he been told to slow down to drop a few places to a particular side?

If he gets caught with girls and alcohol then yes someone's trying to get him to slide a few spots.

Will be gone inside 25 easily.

smoky to go top 10

Mail, or just a guess?

Is it fair to say that Acres is one of the hardest to rate in his draft year? He seems to be rated anywhere from 5-20 and peoples opinions on him change everyday.

Just putting 2 and 2 together having heard pretty much every club is keen

Best chance would probably be Pies at 10

I'm hoping we snag him at 12

Yeah he's a bit of a mystery. I reckon he'll go early teens, possibly to WCE but wouldn't be surprised if he went a little higher

He's very tantalizing

 

[lewigie]

I'd like him at 11. But we're probably firmly on the Sheed bandwagon.

 

[Oscarman]

I'm hoping he is called out at pick 9.

 

[aussierulesrules]

Really impressed with his marking and the way he moves. I reckon he ought to be able to play the sort of role Scharenberg plays and possibly just as well, so I think Acres at say 13 or 14 could easily be better value than Scharenberg in say the top 4.

 

[Stylo]

Agree mate. He's also a better kick than Scharenberg IMO. Berger is consistent but Acres potentially more damaging, precise over long distances. If it weren't for the injury concerns I think he'd be firmly inside the top 10, probably top 5

Scharenberg is a better reader of the play and a very good defender as well as a good one on one player. I think cos he is sliding a bit people forget how good he is not to mention is a extremely good mark(so is Acres).

That being said i think Acres has a superior midfielder game at this point and has an explosiveness that Scharenberg will never have. But Scharenberg is solidly top 3 for mine as he has dominated for 2 years at this level, Acres is in my top 6.

 

[DCFCFAN84]

Will go top 10 IMO maybe to Melbourne at pick 9.

 

[cotter101]

Depending on who else was available at pick 7. I'd be more than happy to take him there.

 

[nottenthagain]

Lots of interest but too many injury question marks for most. GWS at pick 14 I reckon - they can afford to gamble a little having already nailed the draft with their first two picks. Ideally they need a defender but think the temptation will be too much.
