Is tonights game a good indicator? Can Selwood take it to the next step? If so, would he be worth switching Bartel out for him and free up some $$ (Already got Ablett)

Or can Bartel keep at it while Selwood slows down?

You can call me on it in the future if I'm wrong but... I've said this since halfway through last season, Selwood will win the Brownlow in his career.
He costs a fair amount less than Bartel and is more likely to increase in value than Bartel is. Therefore the smart monetary investment seems to be with Selwood.
Selwood is simply a hard worker and it seems like, this year, he will be in the guts of it more than Bartel who seems to float between HF, center and HB.
In DT I'd go with Bartel because he definitely will score more goals and take more cheap kicks/marks as compared to Selwood who will handball because of pressure and score less goals being mainly in the center.
However in SC I 100% back Selwood. Supercoach rewards effectiveness and plays that turn the tide. Selwood is more likely to find himself in that situation through sheer hardwork.
No doubt Bartel is a gun 110+ averager. But based on the above I expect Selwood to definitely get there too.
