Jacks 2013 form - DISCUSS!

[Judge Roughneck]

Suffers from the richo rule

Gets rough calls every time the ball is remotely in his area

Isn't paired free kicks 99% of AFL players would in the identical instance

[Willy]

Very harshly judged because he's not a robot.
Had an average year. Not a bad one though. Sets up more goals than he kicks these days.

[Willy]

Also signed for way less than his market value which tells you two things:
1. He's a loyal tiger.
2. Other clubs rate him.

[MADTIGER2010]

Before he lost some weight he would outmuscle everyone. He'll always be slow so he might as well put on 3-5kg

[TigerMonk]

He can play good football. The only thing l don't like about him is he spends too much time sooking to the umpires when he should be helping his team mates keep the ball in the F50. l also don't like the fact he has several opponents on him. When we should be going to the other forwards, McGoofy, Edwards, Vickery, or the resting forwards. Richmond aint the only team that seems to get out numbered in 2 on 1 contests but team mates kick to the out numbered player.

A full forward should be the most selfish player on the ground ,Jack was not,he was trying to be the touchy feely all inclusive type of guy..........P that right off jack,thats not what full forwards do

You may be right G. I remember in the 1980 Grand Final where David Cloke was running into an open goal with the only pressure coming from Roachy who was right on his hip almost trying to pinch the ball off him before he got the chance to kick the goal. One of the few goal scoring movements in the match that didn't involve KB who as we all know was a greedy as hell.
I think its okay too for Full Forwards to be selfish, but they've got to be able to convert. I think Jack probably knew he was not kicking well and to avoid criticism, decided to play more of a team game. Probably a smart move if you ask me.

[MintOnLamb]

He needs to sort out his attitude apart from that I would rate his season 6/10.
Personally I think Edwards has a better attitude.

[Judge Roughneck]

shame Edwards is a significantly lesser player

l reckon A. Edwards is a better footballer & could kick more goals if left in Jack's position for the year. reckon some of his efforts in keeping the ball in the forward 50 were very good at times. he also created goals. good pickup considering l thought it was a very bad choice by the club to get the bad boy. Well he was a bad boy but produced on the field. never was a favourite at North.

I agree 100%, it is all about opportunity and JR isn't making the most of his and is relying on his 2 colemans reputation.
As most PDS's say, past performance is no guarantee of future earnings.
JR is a petlant sook and needs a kick up his jacksy

What his 5th? place finish in the coleman along with his most assists in the AFL this year (exclude finals) and his 3rd place in 2011 is just relying on his "2 colemans reputation"? Been a gun for the past 4 years and gets a bad rap

[Andyy]

Poor attitude/demeanour.

Spot on about A Edwards. The bloke just gets on with the job, no matter how raw his cards are.

[gerkin greg]

Some absolute nut job opinions in here, must be school holidays

Top handful in the Coleman, #1 in comp for goal assists

Very very solid season and thank **** he plays for Richmond

[tiga]

what....getting on the job with not kicking very getable goals in the elimination final??

[Coach]

Most annoying thing about Riewoldt is when he cracks it and tells everyone else what to do. He also acts like he is the only key forward who occasionally gets manhandled. Should watch the Geelong v Port semi and see what poo umpiring and dirty defending is all about Riewoldt gets looked after so not sure why he's always sooking when a defender is actually handing his arse to him. Could always just work a bit harder to get back in the game.

Overall though I thought he was good this year and his efforts were better than previous seasons
