Bringing him i  this week. So prepare for an average of 75 for the rest of the year.
I felt the same way about Heeney last season as I do about Acres now.  Thinking "surely he can't keep going?" every single week.  Breakout players who score predominantly on the outside scare me a lot.  But Heeney proves it can be done.

Heeney is a brilliant contested mark, not sure Acres is in that league.

Haven't watched many Saints games, but it seems he's playing in the ruck a bit too, which gives him more time/opportunity to score.
In hindsight would have been much better to start him over Billings,whose goal kicking obviously hasn't improved.
But who would have picked him to do this well?

Acres is a pretty damn good mark.

Wouldn't be bringing in any Saints players the way they're going.

Savage has been solid - but I definitely agree with that statement
