This poll has probably been done before, but I haven't seen it.

Who would you rather have fit and at their best?

Slightly different types of CHF.

- Reiwoldt covers more territory and arguably takes more marks as a result, though in this roll he is more of a link man to the full forward (i.e. the Carpet Snake).

- Tredrea, as far as I can recall, has won more games of his own boot; proving to be better at kicking bags of goals.

Reiwoldt easily. Tredrea is so overrated. If he hadn't won a premiership by now he would hardly even be remembered as a better-than-good player. Plus he doesn't kick THAT many goals.

426 goals in 190 games.

Nick 'Pretty Boy' Riewoldt is alot more overrated than what some people think Tredrea is.

Lets see a 4 times AA CHF versus one of the two super CHF's (the other being Brown) of this generation who have a big fat 0 between them.

Reiwoldt (and Brown) are the two most overrated players in the AFL. Good players, but you'd think they are as good as Carey, Judd and Goodes put together with some of the pumping up done by their supporters (and sections of the media).

The stats don't lie - Tredrea kills Reiwoldt (and Brown) in most departments. You can't even use the midfield supply as a reason for Tredrea's success because both Reiwoldt and Brown have had great supply as well. Tredrea has also been a bit of a one man show (hence more attention from opposition) than Reiwoldt who's had Gherig and sometimes Hamill, and Brown's had Lynch/Bradshaw.

I can understand that many of you may hate Tredrea, but to say Reiwoldt has had a better career or has been a more outstanding player just does not stack up.

Also Tredrea was considered the best player in the AFL. Pretty boy Riewoldt has never had that tag.

And honestly, from the Saints side, I'd rather have Nick Dal Santo playing for Port before I'd want Riewoldt.
