Profile

Acres debut season was blighted by leg and foot injuries, only playing 9 games across the VFL and AFL (1 game in the Vic Development League). St Kilda certainly have plenty of faith in him, having already signed a contract extension and if Blake can stay on the park then he should get more games next year and have a much improved AF average. I'm not expecting his scoring to be spectacular, 40's-70's seems about his range so I think if you were to pick him it's best he stays on the pine. With the potential for decent JS and priced lower than many rookies he looms as an attractive option.

Pros - Under priced

Cons - Not a big scorer, injuries


Prediction - 53-57

Great write up Mr Craig.

Think he wont go big. But an ave of 60 would be handy for that price! Hopefulyl can stay fit for round 1!

[Hellopplz]

Agree he's an attractive option at his price MC. Certainly looking at him, just needs to stay fit and make a place in the Saints midfield his own.

[Hagebear]

Won't average too highly. Just need him to get consistent games.
