Benching Riewoldt fair call?

chatters24 · July 21, 2011, 11:37:47 PM

So is putting Nick Riewoldt on the bench this weekend a fair call? My 7 fwd's coming before him are:

Stevie J, Fyfe, Goodes, Pav, Cloke, Chappy, Buddy.

If not, who should I be benching??

you don't have anyone missing in your team?

no injuries, suspension etc. in your mids? because if so I would dpp someone back and play riewoldt.

Pity you have to bench him now he has some semblance of form, but to be fair, he probably is the weak link in that fwd line. Annoyingly enough, voldt will probably pull out a quite decent score, while one of those 7 will probs have a flop, issue is, you can't tell who :P

Use your MMP to put Chappy or Pav in your midfield

Zarts · July 22, 2011, 12:37:41 AM

that's presuming he has a midfield hole he needs to fill.

It's a Port Adelaide bye... Nobody should be missing midfielders.

question is what does his midfield look like?

if he's asking this question its probably

pendles, swan, murphy, mitchell, swallow, heppell ....etc etc etc :P

My mids are Boyd, Pendles, Swan, Thompson, Mitchell and Montagna. So no real holes there. Weak link is Montagna but he has a better avg and scoring potential than the Voldt so that's not an option.

yeah bench him over your other forwards mate. fair call, deserved call, riewoldt pick up your game call

Fair enough the bench it is.

Hugely overrated player, lets not forget when they are talking about great forwards that he couldn't even make your DT forward line fully fit!! I'm not saying he doesn;t try hard, its just he doesn't make much impact.

He in my mind is no longer a must pick at the start of the season, even regardless of his price. At any price I think I'll still be thinking very carefully about him next year, he just seem's to have lost that something special that really made him a dt superstar

please bench roo.

murphys law of dt means as soon as you bench him he will score 120+, ....and he will be on my filed this weekend.

My opponent benched Roo, but she doesn't have Fisher ::)

damn you Fisher, given me a lot of pain as of late... lucky I had you from the start ::)
