February 4, 2017 RICHMOND recruit Josh Caddy has lauded Jack Riewoldt’s passion for the club as the veteran spearhead eyes a return to the Tigers’ leadership group.
Riewoldt’s body language has sometimes landed him in trouble with the goalkicker unable to explain why he had been overlooked for a position in the leadership group in recent years.
But Caddy, who arrived at the club in October’s trade period, said Riewoldt had been an energetic and positive presence at training this pre-season.
“He is an intense character and he is full of beans, no doubt — that’s the thing that has stood out for me,” Caddy said.
“Everyone looking in will have their opinion on him, but for me he is just an emotional person and he doesn’t hide those emotions.
It usually isn’t hard to guess how Jack Riewoldt is feeling.
“Sometimes he might show his cards too much in terms of those emotions, but for me that’s just because he wants to win.”
The Tigers will unveil a reshaped forward line this season led by Riewoldt and Ben Griffiths after the departure of big man Tyrone Vickery to Hawthorn.
Caddy said Riewoldt, 28, was still at the top of his game, entering his 11th season.
“He’s a gun,” Caddy said. “Remember he has won the Coleman (Medal) a couple of times (in 2010 and 2012) and hopefully he can have a massive year for us up forward.”
