Bartel vs Nick Riewoldt

[jamfrank]

Who would you put on the field this week out of these two?

Riewoldt
Didn't play against Freo earlier in the year so hard to get a gauge on how he'll go against the best defence in the comp. One thing we can guess is that he won't be scoring a lot of goals. Dawson should go to him, who's in amazing form. Kept Schulz to one goal and 54 points last week. However Roo could find a bit of the ball up the field.

Bartel
Comes up against Brisbane who he has a pretty good record against. Last 3 against them are 106, 77, 123. However that last score came in 2011....His last three games have been 84, 111, 55. Really don't know what to expect from him.

It's a tough one and could depend on the side Freo send to Melbourne. If they rest some players the game could be closer than we think as StKilda will want to play well to send off their retiring veterans.

For me the decision comes down to Rielwoldt being in excellent form compared to Bartel in so-so form.

I don't think that NRoo has ever tonned up against Freo. Could be wrong though...

Nroo hasn't tonned up against Freo since 2009 but I would still back him in to outscore Bartel

[essendon2]

NRoo scored almost 40 points per quarter last week :o

Bartel scored 50 in his last 3 quarters...


I'd back NRoo ;)

Different opponents, but yeah I'd still back NRoo.

Thanks everyone! Think I'm sticking with Roo. A lot of talk about Freo resting players, maybe this game will be closer than some might think...Rooey should be able to at least chop up with the +6's on the wing, right?
