I think it is a bigger honour then people think.
The pride of The Australian Crest and playing for your country, not matter what sport it is, is a huge honour.
-
Just the crest or the coat of arms beneath it? :shh
-
Touchwood no injury and it doesn't muck up his preseason given the IR series delays the start of preseason for all those who play in it.
Jack should be good at IR btw given he's good in the air as well dangerous at ground level with his footy smarts and spatial awareness.

DO NOT GET INJURED JR8 we need you to badly
:pray

Malthouse talking about our Jack on the Irish tour....
No one could argue, surely, about Jack Riewoldt. He's inexperienced but he's won the Coleman Medal, he's kicked goals from everywhere, as he's informed me he's played soccer, so he will immediately attract attention.

I'm 100% of having as many players play in the International Rules.
I'd risk injury to get the experience and teachings of a Mick Malthouse for our young players. Jack has only everything to gain on the trip good on him.
-
We don't need his teachings Pope, Jacks doing fine without them so far. Would much rather other clubs were not getting in his ear, peeing in his pocket while he is still young and impressionable, or him doing a knee in a kick and giggle.
-
What a joke of a game.
Who freaken cares about some hybrid round ball crapola?
Get back in one piece Jack.
-
Hate this whole international rules thing.
Seriously I cannot see the point and I don't think the risk of any form of injury is worth it
-
Agree the hybrid game is a waste of time.
Bring back State of Origin and play it in October instead.

what wp said totally agree
-
Bring back State of Origin and play it in October instead.
I would show some support for that but I cannot stand the 'international' garbage.

Jack rules!
Richmond’s star spearhead, Jack Riewoldt, is being touted as a major key to the outcome of the upcoming International Rules series between Australia and Ireland.
Riewoldt, who is representing Australia for the first time in the hybrid game, caught the eye of London’s ‘Daily Mail’ sports writer, Joe Callaghan, in his preview of the two-Test series, which starts in Ireland this weekend (October 23).
Under the heading: “Wizards of Oz: Stars to watch in this series”, Callaghan described ‘Jumping Jack’ as “the potential matchwinner”.
“Just 21 and truly lethal. The younger cousin of St Kilda’s Nick Riewoldt, he easily claimed the Coleman Medal for 2010 with an astonishing 78 goals in 22 games. At 6ft 4in, he demands attention from the Irish defence,” he wrote.
Riewoldt’s soccer background should hold him in good stead for the challenge of the International Rules series. He played soccer as a youngster, and was pretty good at it, too, winning a best and fairest award in an under-10s competition back in Tasmania - the only sporting best and fairest he’d claimed up until this year’s Jack Dyer Medal success with the Tigers.
Included among his 78 goals in the 2010 season were some ‘soccer specials’, where he used his ability to read the play, and expertise at ground level, to create something out of nothing.
Riewoldt has been honing his goalkicking skills with the round ball at Australia’s training sessions, in preparation for the first Test against Ireland, paying particular attention to net conversions, which are worth six points, compared to three-pointers for shots that go over the cross-bar.

It was great to watch Flea star in State of Origin in the 80s but it's now dead and buried. There's no passion for it anymore since we have a National competition and professional players will never take it seriously as they did in the 80s. Also which states play. It's okay for NRL as they have only two states to worry about and rewards the best with a spot in the Australian side. If SOO is just Vic vs the rest a la 2008 then the other main states SA and WA will resent it as Vic-centric; if it's Vic vs SA vs WA then many players miss out like our Jack unless you include a "Allies" side but there's no passion or traditional with a composition side; add in the smaller states in some sort of Carnival and they'll get flogged and you'll need a month which will be opposed by the AFLPA. SOO is dead! The only alternative option to IR is to copy another Americanism and go with a end of season All-Star game but there's no traditional for that either. The IR series at least makes money with Croke Park packed with 70k Irish hoping for a bit of biff and then complaining about it the next day if the Irish come off second-best :D.

Check out his face in the group photo lol.

Jack scored 16 points including a "under" in last night's warm up game. He also got through unscathed unlike a couple of other Aussies.

Jack has put a little more up on his diary.
Even though we've played against each other, we've bonded well to form a good team. Even me and Sam (Gilbert)– I sat on his head in round 11 and it nearly won me a car. :lol
-
Interesting comment from Jack in the diary saying Sam Gilbert is immature ?

Jack did okay although he only had 12 possies. Played more in the midfield and even "rucked". The main thing is he got through injury free.
Good to see a Tiger jumper in the crowd.

Thought I saw Jack limping before he came off in the fourth, MT?

The match report said no injuries so I was basing it on that :-\

Yeah this is what happens when u hand a star player to your arch enemy coach. Play him in the wrong position, in a brutal ruck pos no less. Why would he play him in mid? saving the glory for his precious dane swan.

Tiger Jack Riewoldt faces late test
Daryl Timms in Dublin
Herald Sun
October 29, 2010
COLEMAN Medallist Jack Riewoldt is battling flu on the eve of tomorrow morning's second International Rules Test against Ireland at Croke Park.
Riewoldt, who had quiet debut in the hybrid game at Limerick last weekend, must prove his fitness at Australia's final training session today.

The Aussies won but Jack shouldn't have played. He only had a couple of touches all night.

-
Good as long as he is uninjured

Good as long as he is uninjured
Yep that's the main thing. Let's hope Jack gets over his flu before he returns so he doesn't pass it on to the rest of his Tiger teammates.

Interesting comments by Boyd on how our Jack is perceived from afar compared to the real Jack.....
Matthew Boyd also went away with more respect and a better understanding of the other players on the tour, including Richmond's Coleman Medallist Jack Riewoldt.
"I thought maybe he was a little bit arrogant or maybe he is bit different," Boyd said.
"But he is just a great guy, he is a really good fellow and he is a boys' boy and all his teammates love him. I think he is unique more than anything.

Yeah Jack always struck me as someone just determined to succeed. Funny that he got seen as arrogant though, definitely cheeky,

What is the one finger for? His disposals for the game? :lol
He didn't get injured, that is the main thing.
-
Fooking hell, who cares about his 1 finger or his disposal count, the code is slop.
Good experience and came out unscathed. Also keeps him away from celebrating a Coleman medal out on the town in the off season. He'll come back and pre season will be round the corner. He'll be fitter than the others aswell.
-

He was recovering from the flu and probably shouldn't have played at all so who cares how many touches he got?
