I don't think Riewoldt is inconsistent - he rarely plays a bad game. The only thing he is not consistent with is his goal kicking accuracy, yet he still manages to kick quite a few. He's worth as much as Hall.
Pav and Rewolidt are...

Spida and Goodes talking about the Fev already
Curious to see the swans not hosing down talk of the Fev coming to Sydney. He would seem more of a chance than Riewoldt anyhow. We could get Fev under the right terms because the ? over his head, where as Riewoldt has an established value.He ate more cheese, than time allowedComment

I think these days ruckmen are overrated compared to their value in past years.
Sophisticated strategies mean that most teams can counter a dominant ruck. Most teams have done so against Jolly/Everett this year. Guys like Hall and Riewoldt aren't as valuable as they seem.
Focus for recruiting is on speed over the first 5 metres regardless of the size of the player. The in-close keepings-off style of most games means a true break comes when someone can break free from gaining the ball in close. I believe that is why players like Ryan Griffen haven't developed further. McVeigh also falls into that category. And it's why Judd and Kerr are so valuable.
Don't need Fev, Riewoldt or anyone else like that. Explosive speed of foot over 5 metres - that's it. If a team has 2 or 3 players like that it today's football, shut the gate.Comment

I don't think so. The Jolly/Everett combination has, when they have played together, been devastating to other teams this year. Near on the best ruck combination in the league and they've only been together for about half a season.
But yes, you are right, our leg speed on the ground hasn't been able to take full advantage of that yet.Comment

Yes and No,Hall isnt a trouble maker Fev is so that is in Hall's favour. ATM.On the park they both take the best defenders and most of the time 2 or 3,both kick goals but Halls work around the ground is better when at his best but even now he still does good work around the ground.He might not be kicking a lot of goals or taking a lot of marks he still gets my vote.Against Freo last week he was back on track so lets just hope he gets back to his best for the rest of the season.Now this is a thread that i would expect on the ego -centric, wank session that is redandwhiteonline.com...
