Clear Best on Ground from JR. his ability to actually mark the ball im the wet and straight kicking really kept us in it and also got us over the line

The standard is set. I expect this output every week now.

You expect him to be best on ground every week as a key forward? Hmm.

Good to see he was kicking around his body well last night. Had been struggling with that this year and it's normally a strength of his.

Seems to have the confidence in going for his marks again.

Spring in his step and ability to get the ball at ground level has really made him a dangerous

opponent one on one close to goal.

I thought Jack couldn't play key forward?

His best game for quite a while. Practised his kicking during the week after training….
OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.

Jack is due for a September haul

If Monday's night's best-on-ground performance from Jack Riewoldt reminded us of anything, it's that the star Richmond forward is close to unstoppable when on song. He kept Richmond in the contest when Melbourne looked headed for a win, and then almost won it off his own boot in the final term to finish with a six-goal bag. Richmond couldn't have started its season off any better as it strives to get back to the finals, and Riewoldt has been the beneficiary of a more direct and free-flowing game style this year.  The two-time Coleman medallist performed well in the Tigers' run of elimination final losses from 2013-15 but it will be brilliant to see him back on the big stage at the end of this season if Richmond's form continues. In Monday night's form, anything would be possible. - Callum Twomey

Richmond's Alex Rance says Jack Riewoldt has changed for the better

Sam McClure
The Age
26 April 2017


Richmond superstar Alex Rance has praised teammate Jack Riewoldt for turning around his behaviour and becoming one of the club's most significant leaders.

A candid Rance has also conceded he initially misjudged his mercurial teammate earlier in his career, admitting his views about Riewoldt were misinformed.

The Tigers spearhead booted six goals in the come-from-behind win against Melbourne in the Anzac Day eve epic.

After being absent for four years, Riewoldt was this year voted back into the leadership group as a co-vice captain along with Rance, with Trent Cotchin remaining skipper.

Rance said while Riewoldt has always been a star performer on the field, it's what he's been able to achieve behind the scenes that has impressed people at Punt Road the most.

"Jack and I have a lot of similarities. We're both very passionate blokes and very outspoken. And we're demonstrative in how we express our emotions," Rance told 3AW.

"There are things he went through over the last few years that I can safely say that I was wrong about.

"A lot of my judgments on his leadership over the past few years [were wrong] and this year he's arguably one of the best leaders at our football club.

"We've got a really strong three now with Jack, Trent and myself, who are trying to steer the ship in the right direction and get the most out of everyone else and Jack's been one of the main drivers towards that and I couldn't be more proud of him."

The "things" that Rance alluded to have been well documented.

In May 2014 Riewoldt was lambasted by his coach for criticising the team's game plan.

He said: "Unfortunately, we went one way with our game, and the game went the other way really. We probably tried to copy Hawthorn a little bit too much with our kicking style."

That resulted in Damien Hardwick hitting back in his media conference later that week.

"We caught up with him this morning and removed his foot from his mouth and my foot from his arse," the coach said.

In the same week, in an extraordinary attempt to avoid a waiting media throng, Riewoldt jumped a construction fence at Punt Road Oval.

But Rance says Riewoldt has made a concerted effort to change, and now everyone is benefiting.

"What he did earlier in his career, he was quite vocal and he probably got himself in a little bit of hot water in the media a few times about speaking his mind a little too much.

"And I probably held onto that for a bit longer for what I should've. I think he grew out of that over the past few years.

"I think it was an important learning curve for him in terms of being part of a whole and sometimes you need to bite your lip and not say exactly what you're thinking."

After his bag of six on Monday night, Riewoldt has 14 for the season and 497 for his career.

"This year and last year especially he's been probably a more well-rounded leader," Rance said.

"He's really turned it around more so from an external perception wise and everyone is seeing the fruits of that now."

He was simply outstanding against Melbourne. He not only kicked six goals but set up goals. Deserves enormous credit.

He was spot on in 2014, Dimma should've removed his ego from the conversation and we might've seen a very different couple of seasons
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

The club knows what he said was right but it's all about media image. Players are trained to give nothing responses, not necessarily lie just avoid the question as obvious in many interviews. He made the club look stupid by saying we went the wrong way with the game plan ( we looked stupid anyway ) but to hear it from one of the players obviously isn't s great look.

I'd much rather players be straight up and honest. talk of 4 walls and following the process and working on it in training make my head explode. I actually have more respect for Riewoldt for being straight up about it.

I agree completely but just not the way it is.
