Title: Benching Riewoldt fair call?
Post by: chatters24 on 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

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.

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

Nope.

Team name: Murri Magic Coach Name: Natalie

She's sitting 2nd in Bluddy Goode and I'm 4th... so it's 2nd vs 4th so her not having Fisher is annoying...

She's 10th overall on points though and I'm 1st... why I'm stuck at 4th who knows?  ::)

Oh wait... it's because I lost 2154 - 2157 in round 14 and 2271 - 2272 in rd 15  ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)

I know that kind of pain. I'm 2nd in overall in my league and yet I'm sitting in 8th. Huge percentage boost coming up though because I'm playing someone who only started checking their team a few weeks ago. A couple of close losses and league becomes very frustrating.

nails don't worry about fisher he is basically the best of a bad bunch this year when it comes to defenders....

Gibbs and Deledio are the best defenders and most people would have them in their team to start with

Fisher is the common option. If I was trading this week, I would not get Fisher. Birchall would be my pick.
