Acres. I haven't been one of the Acres bashers to date but nearly every contest and disposal was well below acceptable (and that was watching the replay knowing the result). Noone else performed close to as poorly to deserve relegation.

And they have all been floggings as well unfortunately
And yet the west australian rated him higher than Aish clueless newspaper.

Unpopular opinion; Acres was much better than Aish on the weekend, and I don’t think he gets a fair go on here at all.
As for changes I think Tabs will be given a week rest with Brayshaw the obvious replacement and that will be it. Blakely maybe an in for Tobe but then we’d be playing too many mids.

Wondering if I watched the same game as others, Aish was very average and Acres had him covered on the weekend. He’s been hitting the contest a lot harder of late

He will never be a "hard nut" but he is definitely more aggressive in the contest now, than at the start of the season.
Not sure if it's a mindset thing, but if he keeps slowly increasing the levels of desire for the ball in the clinches, he'll be one of the better steak knife acquisitions going around.

Blakley is no chance with Brayshaw coming in unless we have another mid injury.
Team balance won't allow him selection.
I am clearly not the only one that doesn't think Acres is that close to getting dropped.
Shill plays defence now.
They are flakey but everything is in their favour for this one, they flat track well at home and will want to atone for dropping their last home game vs the Dogs, their bye is coming straight up.
Even if we can get into the contest I think the home crowd and experienced players will carry them home, but if we turn up in Q1 like we have to any of our away games this year, this will be over early.
Hopefully Tabs is fit and Brayshaw back to give us a chance.

I dream of it every time I put a best 22 together. I hope he plays mid when/if he comes back.
The only way we win is if our mids dominate (possible) and we convert. Their midfield is shallow. They are better everywhere else overall.

There goes any hope of him playing AFL again.......
Seems like it. I want Tucker back in the mids though, one of the few to kick goals from mid.
Kapow!!!

I am a noted Acres knocker but I completely agree with this. He's been a lot harder at the contest and a result playing better footy in the last couple of weeks

Agreed, I was the same about a month ago but he's pretty locked into the best 22 with how he's playing.
Frankly, if his form keeps up, the Hill for Serong, Acres and change is comfortably better than our robbery over GC. We are paying Acres half of what St Kilda are paying Hill for better output and also getting Serong, its pretty funny

Many of them were calling for Meek to come in for Lobb..... That would have ended really well.

Out: Tabs
In: Brayshaw
Fyfe forward more to keep Aliir busy who has been a beast lately.
Too risky atm to make any more changes forward when we have our real only goto play out.
Watson still better than Duman in my opinion and will be better this week.
Meek still a chance though so Darcy can go forward, but I would rather our mids get silver service from Darcy so the ball is in our possession and getting to our forward half first.

Too right. Confirmation bias runs riot with some posters on here. What I don’t get is why they don’t go the next step and rip into the coach who clearly sees Acres as best 22, and that is regardless of injuries. Longmuir clearly values the distance covered, the meters gained etc. You know, the things wingers do.
There's no way Acres is getting dropped.
I feel Aish has a far greater impact forward of centre and he's been played defensively.
Conca's punishment period needs to end he's been a consistent lockdown defender bar a couple of games. I'd back him in to return and make an impact.
