Analysis The Temple of Acres

[CALL ME SNAKE]

the GOAT aint scared of nobody

 

[Plugger35]

I suspect to many many non Saints people....he's just another Saints player.....but we certainly know a little better.

Yeah he would be under the radar of most opposition supporters, I doubt many people would have him in their SC teams, no one I've seen on the SC board mentioned him when selecting their teams.

I thought he was worth a punt as a POD selection given his performances have kept improving over the last couple of years to the point where he is now ready to become a genuine A grader and as he showed yesterday he can not only rack up big numbers but is damaging with them as well which is SC gold.

I've refrained from bragging about his score on the SC board as I don't want every other campaigner jumping on him but if he keeps scoring like he did yesterday he won't be under the radar for long.

I took him out last week not happy at all. Hes going back in this week.

Oh ye of little faith

 

[AFLOnline]

I love how he can just spin out of a tackle

That's disturbing

I think (hope) this thread goes to a different level this year.

Might need a shrine for JB at this rate too.

I got Acres for the same reason! Small sample space I know but feeling pretty satisfied with my choice so far.

imagine this years highlights vid

 

[Verdun]

finding it hard to keep the lid on re Acres.

Please remind me again what pick was used to get him and what trade it came from.....was it the McEvoy one?

Would also love to see him in the middle, but the slow burn of improvement is now heating up

 

[lethalsaints]

Acres will be A Grade by 2019

Acres will be A Grade by 2019

there is scope for huge improvement within the Saints list and Acres is a big part of it

I hope Dunstan is one of them

 

[gringo2011]

I hope Dunstan is one of them

I think our best hopes are Acres, Gresham, Billings and Membrey as far as stars go. Dunstan, Koby, Steel etc don't look like superstars yet but look like they will compete for spots most of the year. Clark and Coffield are promising. We just need a few more solid players to do what Seb and Roberton did last year as well.

 

[AFLOnline]

I'm kicking myself I didn't have the balls to pick Acres in my SC

Doesn't matter though, still gonna win it all

Correct Sir.

We could be the side that bobs up and goes BANG!!! All eyes are looking elsewhere.

Closing the gap between best and worst is the key.

Watched a few games and there is no way I'd have 3 or 4 people in that team.
Coniglio out and Gablett in
Ziebell out and Billings in
Parker out and Mitchell in
Lecras out and Greene in
Shiel out and Cripps in

But hey what would I know

Its a fact based team I believe, not an opinion based and its done on some really weird rankings system.

rare footage of Blake as a "Kid" taking on John Longmire....

 

[St Pauls]

Can someone make a gif of his slips catch mark?

 

[triggering bro]

Goat be sliding into your girls DM’s like

 

[Ads734]

He had the highest ranking points according to AFL player ratings, higher then Jack Steven, In Fact he was was point one of a point below Dustin martin

 

[triggering bro]

GOAT picked up 7 coaches votes
(Steven received the maximum 10)

So he got 4 and 3. I assume Billings probably would have got the alternative 4 and 3 then?
