Toast Welcome Blake "Sherrif" Acres

[CapitalA]

He wasn't Robinson Crusoe there.

Yeah but he has been doing it for his whole career.

 

[CapitalA]

To be fair he is probably safe this week, others need to go before him.

 

[FreoRicci]

Funny because he’s playing like Langdon did before he left. The thing is coaching and kicking lesson.
Langndon goes to Melbourne and is coached by Mark Williams. Was a lollipop kick, well he still is

Nah. Langdon hit the scoreboard, he averaged 0.5 goals a game with us which is pretty good for a wing. Acres has kicked 2.0 in 27 games for Fremantle. At least he’s accurate I guess…

Two shots on goal in 27 games as a winger! Had a look, Mitch Robinson

who plays a pretty defensive role as the teams winger had 14 shots last season in 22 games.

Langdon was probably trying to hit up a lead to the pocket though.

I reckon if you include out of bounds on the full he'd at least compete with Robinson, so not that bad

AFL website actually includes "shots" and they record him having 6 in total for Fremantle. So he's 2.0.4 in 27 games, so not only does he not hit the scoreboard at all I can now take back my accurate claim.

Makes you wonder why the coach clearly prefers him to;

• Aish
• Henry
• O'Driscoll
• Clark
• insert other hbf-er name
• Western
• Erasmus
• other

NOD has 50% of Acres goal tally after 1 quarter.

Holy s**t.

 

[Dockeroo]

I'd rather we have a winger that gets his hands on it than one that doesn't and that's what we have after Acres on the list..

I’d rather 10 high class disposals from Brandon Walker than 25 rubbish disposals from acres with his dogshit hack kicks to the opposition intercept marking defender

Well when Walker plays on the wing maybe that's a consideration

 

[E Shed]

Acres became officially dead to me when he dropped a sitter in the back line & immediately gave away a free tackling someone without the ball.

been saying this for a while. Works hard, good team man, seems like a good bloke, good depth for injuries etc., but with such a small injury list should not be in the 22.

That dropped mark was just in front of us and the other freo backman were protecting his back but he just s**t himself about possible contact, the guy is just a receiver /easy ball get, JL should never play him again i even prefer Connor B to him

I'd prefer Nick Suban to him.

Nick Suban 2022 version, not even prime Suban.

 

[FreoRicci]

Ha. Goals from the wing?
Can’t even kick 10 goals a game.
I’d be happy if Switta can get 2

Fair enough, it was terrible. In the same category as Clark's kick in against the Saints. Both absolute killers.

 

[Heart Of Purple]

I can’t recall ever seeing a player s**t themselves so much with ball in hand. Even when he marks it/gets a free kick it looks rushed and panicked… then hacks it as high and long as he can.
Doesn’t cut it as an outside mid - for the role he’s playing you need polish.

Having said all that … there’s really not many options on that wing. At least one of the backs needs to be pushed up the ground.

We have several options. Erasmus, Henry, Frederick, Clark, Aish, Colyer.

 

[heypenny]

We've got too many soft types in the team. I can understand Henry, Fredrick and Clark being soft due to their age and inexperience but it sucks when some of our more experienced players (Acres, Aish, Colyer) are the same.

We need players with a harder edge or players who have a ruthless defensive edge. Even our hacks like Banfield don't have it.

Bring back McPhee

I feel like Acres is on the cusp of increased performance
