Cerra has a few rippers on a wing. Aish too. I do think Acres has a bit more pace and ablity to run and carry the ball than those two.
Runs all day and is actually pretty quick Id disagree with your view.
I hink Young will be a wing in the log run. He played a bit tehre before he got injured.
Very happy with his return game, let's hope he keeps it going

Really good game against the Tigers.
I have been thinking about the calls for him to play inside mid.
Some players give the impression that they should play in another position due to their physical attributes.
I remember a kid in my son's team who was played at half forward because he was really fast & a long kick.
One day at training, in a scratch match he played inside mid & played much, much better than usual.
It got me thinking at the time, so I am proposing that here for Acres.
Maybe his mindset is that of an outside mid, despite being built for the contest. He is not a shirker & his tackle on Cotchin was a highlight from the game. But still nothing compared to that Serong handball. Sorry to get back to that.
Acres is a wingman IMO

Just needs to avoid shirking contests and he’ll be alright. He wasn’t able to avoid that habit at WP and the Saints so it’ll be a really big feather in his cap if JLo can get him to commit to every contest every game.
I very much doubt Josh Carr will be letting him get away with shirking contests ever again. I would have loved to be a fly on the wall when Carr did his Geelong review with him.

If Josh Carr can coach Acres to be as tough as Matt Carr then we've struck absolute gold. They have a lot of similarities and M.Carr was an absolute jet for us in 06
If it happens I for one don't need to see proof.
The only thing they don’t have in common is shirking contests. Matt loved the hard stuff even as a junior.

Make it the other way round, and you've got yourself a bet.
I very much doubt Blake would be up for having MadMundy 's mug permanently etched on his butt.

I did, although there are a number of juicy possibilities at play here!

Matt Carr was a genuinely underrated footballer. Hard as nails!
Yeah i know
Yep, played well. And in the wet too. His game against Geelong was the worst game i've seen from anyone in a long time and I was thinking he's here for the paycheck only. He's come back well from that.
Very very good! 18 touches in the last half with plenty of run. Love it.
