AFL FANTASY TAKE
Acres should slot straight onto a wing at the Dockers in 2020, he averaged 67.5pts in 2019 & has a career season high average of 80.5pts in 2018.
There is genuine upside potential for Acres next season, he could easily average more than 20.0 Disposals. Acres averaged 81.2pts in 2019 when recording 20 Disposals or more which is directly correlated.
Throw Acres into your watch-list over summer & keep an eye on any news relating to his role, he’s a potential option in classic if the FWD status remains but his salary will impact team structure.
Acres is a mid-late round selection in draft, many could ignore the potential.
