I was surprised at how many here had Acres in their votes, I thought he made a lot of mistakes.
I can appreciate his inclusion in the votes would be questionable. He did make errors, but he also works his ar$e off. 32 disposals, 6 tackles, 2 clearances, 415 m gained, 89% on ground. I probably overcooked the Jim Park giving him 3 votes, but he deserved votes for the effort and good things he did.

Not to mention TDK has been a very dangerous addition to the forwardline, and he has been scoring his 1 to 2 goals a game (should have had 3 against the Pies, but missed one that was gettable).
I think we just need to tidy it up a bit, and be a bit smarter and we will be fine. No need to panic, its not a personell issue, its an execution problem.
I'd have to agree. I was frustrated whilst watching the game and in the immediate aftermath. It felt like a rugby fest. But in hindsight I think the two teams were more even than many suggest.

Agreed, I'm not bagging Acres he does a power of grunt work, I'm highlighting the somewhat bizarre disparity in how fans assess player performance.
Yes, fair enough. On that point we can agree.

I thought everything about their "game" wasn't sustainable last year until it was.
They laid 88 tackles last night, their season average is 67.6. Their 2023 season average for tackles was 64.1. You won't be laying 88 tackles very often in one season. The link between their high tackle numbers and the I50 differential seems pretty clear in my non expert opinion.

They played out of their skins on the tackling side of things, and that level of commitment and effort is not sustainable.
