If anyone watched this game can they pass on why Acres didn't play?
Just a guess but perhaps he is being saved for the Friday night game in light of Carroll's injury.
The most probable reason. Hopefully, he doesn't see his form decay by not playing, as Flynn Young appears to have.
Live Long and Prosper!

We had Moir, but that was about it. When we don't dominate in the middle, our structural issues become more apparent. And Moir has to up his workrate. God knows he can make a difference when he gets the ball. But he doesn't get the ball enough. Simple as that. We had Warburton at CHF, which shows how devoid of options we were.

Moir will be put on the trade table at seasons end.

He has the ability but not the grey matter and clearly doesn't want to work hard enough.

Hmm, id be a bit wary with writing off Moir too soon.  We put him on ball on the weekend when we were struggling and his creativity out of the middle was good.

To be honest, our kids need more time and investment.  May as well cut from the top than the bottom, depends on what our draft hand looks like.

I think those requesting wholesale changes this season will be bitterly dissapointed, the timing is wrong for it.

You don't trade Moir types.
You won't get much for him, but if he puts it all together, he can make you look silly for a decade afterwards.

Best we keep him. He'll kick you a goal a game relatively easily, which should not be overlooked, even if his potential is to get you 2 goals a game.

He's contracted until the end of next year.
I reckon we'll have a fair idea if "That's as good as it gets" by then.

Was Acres the travelling emergency?

The commentators were saying that Cody Walker was now on our VFL list and would now be playing in most games.  Is that correct?

There's an AI entry that says he was added to the VFL list in late April 2026. That's all I can find. My faith in AI is tepid at best, so I would take that with a low level of confidence for now.

He's not showing on the picture profile of the VFL list on the CFC website.

Can confirm he played on the weekend.

14 disposals, 9 kicks, 5 handballs, 5 marks, and 2 tackles.

When we say his name, you can bet the farm on him playing round 1 next season unless some unforseen circumstances play out.

I have less faith in the CFC website than I do in AI  ::)
