Congratulations to Jack. :clapping

We are very lucky to have had this young man follow so ably in Richo's footsteps. :cheers
I still chuckle when thinking of him creeping up the race when concussed during the Hawks game a few years ago.
It was almost like he wanted to sneak back onto the ground.
-
For me - I finally thought Jack had officially "arrived" as an AFL force on Rd 11 2010.
It was a Friday night game against St kilda . Jack kick 6.3 and completely dismantled the Saints backline in the third quarter.
There were times during that match I couldn't believe my eyes .
That was his 57th game .....he's been a superstar ever since.

At docklands yeah?

Jack kicked 6 of our 8 goals . Andy Collins kicked the other 2.

Kicked 10 the following week and according to Dwayne Russell ceased being the Dani Minogue of the Riewoldt family.

Richmond coach Damien Hardwick has expressed his admiration for Jack Riewoldt in the lead-up to the star Tiger key forward’s 200th game of league football.
“He loves his footy, he’s emotionally invested . . . he’s a terrific player,” Hardwick said.
“He’s changed as a player, there’s no doubt about that.
“I think when we first arrived here, he was very much a traditional full-forward. But, as we know, those players are tending to go out of the game now . . .
“He’s improved, I think, nearly every year I’ve been here, which is a credit to him and how hard he works.
“People don’t realise, he’s an undersized key forward, but he’s got incredible ‘smarts’ . . . a great football brain.
“He’s an incredible talent and we’re very lucky to have him.
“For him to play to the level he has, over the period of my seven years, has been outstanding.
“We look forward to him playing a lot more in Richmond colours.”

Another reason for this mob (excluding Rance & Martin) to disappoint a teammate.
This same mob that failed to beat a 9th place ScumCheats in the EF and the very same mob that failed tribute when Tommy Hafey died.
This club doesn't rate this bloke and I'd be surprised if it wasn't a replay of 2007.

Regrettable moments shape Riewoldt into the person he is
AFL.com.au
14 August 2016
THERE have been some regrettable moments for Richmond star Jack Riewoldt throughout his career, but the forward is happy with how it has panned out.
The 27-year-old will play his 200th match against Geelong on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.
He made an obscene hand gesture towards the Hawthorn bench in 2011, and was known for his on-field dummy spits in his younger days.
Riewoldt has had a love/hate relationship with the media, most memorably when he ran from the media in 2014 after receiving a minor clip from his coach Damien Hardwick.
"There's been some stuff there that I wish hadn't happened, but it's all about the learning process through it," Riewoldt said on Saturday.
"I've matured into the person I am today through those things. Granted, I would like to take a few of them back that have probably put the club in a position that they didn't deserve to be in.
"When it comes down to it, they've all been pretty harmless. I haven't done anything too bad."
He saw the surgeon on Friday regarding a broken finger in his first ever practice game for the Tigers that has caused problems since. However, Riewoldt was declared fit to play.
"I've just had a little bit of a lingering issue with that. (The surgeon's) given me the all clear, so I'm 100 per cent and right to go," Riewoldt said.
He had a bout of the flu earlier in the week but said he had overcome the illness.
Fellow forward Tyrone Vickery wore a glove on his left hand, which he took off while practising his goalkicking. He appeared to be wearing strapping on the same wrist and hand.
Brett Deledio (calf) and Kamdyn McIntosh (ankle) made an appearance on the track, kicking to each other in a light manner. The vice-captain has been ruled out for the season while McIntosh will struggle to play another game after he suffered a syndesmosis sprain in his right ankle in May.
Since he was drafted at No.13 in 2006, Riewoldt has not been part of a victorious team against the Cats.
Geelong has won the last 11 matches between these sides, and 18 of the past 19.
Riewoldt said he was usually manned by Tom Lonergan, rather than Harry Taylor, who also lines up in his 200th game.
"I've played on Lachie Henderson when he's played at Carlton. It just goes to show the versatility of their backline," he said.

I expect to see some 1st rate finger pointing today :shh
-
I hope today is like Richo's 200th for him.

Best of luck for today's game. Congratulations on your 200th.
Maybe you could earn your money & kick 8 goals to match that jumper you meant to play for :snidegrin It's such a beautiful day outside so don't want any excuses bitch

Only Vickery would take off his glove during practice and leave it on during the game :lol. At least he kicked it straight I guess
