Brownlow votes: 7
Blake Acres arrived at IKON Park with 120 AFL games under his belt with both the Dockers and St Kilda – already placing him inside the top 10 most experienced players on the Blues’ list.
Strong around the ball and capable of winning possession both on the inside and outside, the 26-year-old is a valuable addition with his experience and quality in the wing position.
Acres entered the AFL in the same fashion as his now skipper and fellow West Australian Patrick Cripps – a first-round selection in the 2013 NAB AFL Draft and made his way to the Blues through a trade with the Dockers.
Playing his best season to date in 2022, Acres featured in an elimination and semi final for Fremantle, averaging over 20 disposals as he made the wing position his own throughout the year.
