Jack rebuffs Dons to commit to Tigers

STAR forward Jack Riewoldt has rejected overtures from Essendon coach John Worsfold and pledged his loyalty to Richmond.
The Bombers believed Riewoldt, 27, was gettable, but after a series of meetings between Riewoldt and Tigers officials in the past week, including one with coach Damien Hardwick, Riewoldt has come to accept he was not put up for trade.
His name had been linked to several clubs this trade period, but on Monday Tigers list manager Dan Richardson denied Riewoldt was on the table.
“Not to our knowledge, no, so I’m not sure where that’s come from,” Richardson said.
“Jack’s got three more years to go on his contract and he’s a very important player for us.”

A meeting between Hardwick and Riewoldt in the past 36 hours is understood to have further confirmed to Riewoldt he was not only required, but wanted by the Tigers, ending a challenging period for the star forward.
With the Tigers ruthlessly assessing their list, Riewoldt was understood to be assessing his future.
He spoke to long-time friend Brendon Goddard at the weekend about various aspects of Goddard’s move from St Kilda to Essendon at the end of the 2012 season.
Bombers coach Worsfold contacted Riewoldt after the forward’s discussion with Goddard.
There was no discussion about money or potential trade options, but about where Riewoldt believed his future was heading.
Riewoldt told Worsfold he wanted to remain a Tiger.
The meeting with Hardwick saw the coach give the two-time Coleman medallist an unqualified commitment to keeping him at Punt Rd.
It’s understood Riewoldt had been disconcerted by the possible trade of good mate Brett Deledio to Geelong, but that won’t affect his decision to stay.
Riewoldt kicked 48 goals in 2016 — his smallest return since 2009 — as the Tigers failed to make the finals after three consecutive campaigns.

Why would you want to go to the bottom team who will be middle rung at best for another year at least? At least lids got an offer from a team in contention
-
:facepalm
-
and y would jack want to go to a bunch of cheats for... Hopefully jack can get some strong help this year

Don't know about that
His manager shopping him around indicates not
-
Ruthlessly they say? LMAO
TOOTHLESSLY

We should have off loaded this one too.
Over rate.
So many people think he's the pulse of the club.
Good chance he's part of the attitude

Why not , if lids is going?
If a jobs worth doing

Right.
Should have moved two of the 4 on
-
Well done on retaining a contracted player who was never leaving.....all this thread needs now is the return of Bo praising "shrewd" Dan & Blair, accompanied with clapping & dancing emoticons......
-
It's kind of a futile exercise this alleged, ruthless recruitment tangent when you have already locked in the Houli, Hunt, Hampson, Ellis, Conca (?), Astbury, Griffiths and all the other duds not to mention dimmer.
FML.

Where is the Bo master anyway? Haven't seen him around these parts for a while. :shh

Selfish plays for himself & not the team. Injured & has a bad season when he could have had a operation & given a team mate a chance to get some form like McBean or even had Vickery or Griffiths in his position. Hardwick letting him play injured reminds me of the dark days of Geishien

You have never liked him and had an axe to grind since day 1 since he was recruited
Maybe time to take the blinkers off
-
I don't care either way for him.
A lot of huff and puff for little return.
It's not totally his fault.
One of those guys we might end up saying, we should have iced when we could still get something.
How many goals in finals has he Kicked?
-
He's kicked eight goals across three finals.
-
What decent players we have are wanting out or for some reason letting it be known they
aren't happy.
Balmy has walked into a sh$t fight at Tigerland.
Old Merkin is talking up his player.
-
What is the argument for not trading jack?
If lids is going why not
The. Again every dud under te sun got a new deal - shambles
I would like to know the grand plan for winning a flag I doubt there is one

Not to bad considering the Port debacle

Can't remember the blues debacle but i think the Norf debacle was fairly spread

Jack is the LEAST of our problems, surely people can find a thousand other axes to grind ::)
-
Deledio isn't / wast a problem either
Jack = pick 1 and another 1st rounder
Are we rebuilding or topping up

Paying Lids $800k a year is a problem especially when he can barely string 2 games together.

Cause Jack has a lot more footy to give whereas Lids body is crumbling.
Stuffing LOL at people who think he provides little return. Been one of the most (if not the most) consistent goal kickers for the past 6-7 years

Lids playing consistent footy is a problem.
His ability to play with a tag is a problem
Him not wanting to play at Richmond is a problem
He is not the only one guilty of that either.
-
Does jack play consistent ?

Some.

He gives effort consistently and at this point is much more durable.

I always thought it was Dimmas game plan ruining our players?
Trade out Jack and you trade out the only bloke who really cares a stuff about the RFC.

Agree

That and playing players with injuries
Like jack
Selfish man Dimma

I can now confirm categorically that North Melbourne are the team that Jack Riewoldt has spoken to
North instigated the discussion. RIC continue to deny a connection but my understanding is JR is considering

If he goes the RFC are the biggest joke in AFL history.
-
Said 4 weeks ago that Jacks manager had shopped him around and everyone laughed at me
Jack wants $$$$$$$$
Keep in mind that Liam Pickering Jacks manager has got a history on getting the deals done when they are not expected
I think he will stay , but who knows

Yep Pickering is a sly dog. He got Ablett and Franklin big trades to their new clubs. North would have alot of cash to offer

This is a perfect example of why people shouldn't believe every media article they read. Some on here going ham at Reiwoldt because he talked to Essendon and considered it, then he decided to stay but now apparently he's talking to North and considering it?
-
Jack is a star and very loyal but if this club doesn't get its act together soon he will walk just like Lids when the next contract rolls around.
And like Lids I'll be wrapped for him.
Even in the last month, this club has made some huge mistakes IMO. Treading water some might say.
Be f$&king ruthless for once you idiots in charge.
Maric, Houli, Grigg, Hunt, Griff, Astbury, BEllis should all be gone, not new contracts!! Give them away for free if you have to but these guys will not win you big games. FACT

Lol please what are they trading to us? Some left over Powerade?

I would love to see Jack play at a decent club in a decent team and with a great coach.
If that is RFC next year great, but we have to get rid of the coach and half of our team. If not best of luck to him.
