Austin is combing the country to improve the wing position.
Port's Amon was on our radar till he was asking too much
Crow's Lachie Sholl, I suspect still on our radar.
Now we have added Freo's Blake Acres to Austin's list of wing possibilities
Quote:
Carlton is at the front of the queue for Fremantle’s Blake Acres.
That is according to Western Australian journalist Kim Hagdorn who is reporting that the Blues have “jumped to the front of the race” for the Dockers wingman.
Acres, 26, is out of contract this year and is yet to re-sign with Freo as Victorian clubs circle.
Hagdorn says other clubs are offering the former Saint lengthier and more lucrative contracts than the Dockers which could lead to his exit.
“Blake Acres looks more likely to take a deal elsewhere,” Hagdorn said on SEN WA Drive.
“There’s several deals on offer, three and some of four years, for Blake Acres to leave Fremantle.
“He could well be going to Carlton. They’ve jumped to the front of the race for Blake Acres.”
Acres has been in superb form in 2022, enjoying arguably a career-best season on the wing.

I feel Austin and Voss are clear of the holes on our list and will fill some this year's Trade/ Draft/DFA period.

wingers to us is to be expected.
Vossy may as well have been advertising a vacant lot with O’Brien in the side all season.
No talent necessary. Basketball background preferred.
