I'd take both Sholl and Acres, if possible. If only one, I'd take Sholl.
While Acres is an overall better winger, and more physical, Sholl is a much better ball-user. He lowers his eyes and hit targets regularly, while Acres tends to dump kick it high. Works OK for Freo since they have an effective range of forwards who are able to either win possession at HF or stop the opposition from quickly rebounding. We have consistently done the opposite.
One of our biggest weaknesses this year was dump kicking toward the F50 and getting killed in transition by better running teams. Acres will not likely change that unless we also bolster the HF line, but Sholl just may with our current setup
