2010 was a different story. It was the Jack show, nobody to be his foil. Kicked 78 goals sure but Richmond had a poo year. We've improved every year since and Riewoldt kicks less goals. This is Hardwick's plan of course. Jack doesn't attack the ball like he did in 2010 probably because he is more closely minded, manhandled, spares sitting in his space or double/triple teaming him, and to be honest it's very clear he's been figured out by now - still a star player but better understood by his opponents now.
Jack isn't the problem. Hardwick will probably want him to kick 60-70 a year and the extra goals needs to come from Vickery hopefully putting on at least 5kg an kicking straight, and another solid forward.
A Edwards does a good job leading up etc but I don't think he'll be the long-term answer. King looks like he's playing injured as usual. Nahas is finished. McGuane was only ever a cameo/sidekick. Maybe just chuck Lids or Ellis in the F50 as they are both very good overhead marks and can finish cleanly. Vlastuin and Martin should spend more time there too. Martin is strong in the hips and takes good chest marks and Vlastuin is exceptionally confident with his goal kicking IMO and for good reason.
