Jack Riewoldt - Triple Coleman medallist [merged]

[eliminator]

Another good game from Jack. His marking is great to watch.

I liked that he didn't get carried away and try and kick a bag. With all the hype it might have been a tempting thing to do. But he stuck to doing the team thing. Even when it wasn't the right decision (e.g. the handball to Deledio on the run from around the 50 arc when he could have gone back and roosted it) it showed he is thinking team before himself.

if you call that team thing & not thinking of himself lol

l call it a stupid decision by Rewoldt & keeping Brisbane in the game when it could have been a possible goal from a set shot.

I'd prefer the ball in delideo's hands from 50m than Jacks

Ditto best long shot in the team although Newman may get close

same here AL but you dont handball to a player thats going to run into trouble the minute you had it off.
l would have dragged him & beat him up in the interchange box

Deledio shouldn't have made the call..

Wasn't Jack's fault at all, he was thinking team though which is good

Their both idiots for even trying it cause it was not on

Saw this on BF's main board. Jack scores a goal once from every 3 times we kick the ball to him....


Updated figures after round 13 for the top 10 inside 50 targets and goals produced. Also a couple of honourable mentions to guys who feature highly in goals produced with less opportunity.

Fev 190 times = 42 goals - 22%
Hall 167 times = 46 goals - 27%
J Riewoldt 154 times = 48 goals - 32%
Brown 121 times = 35 goals - 28%
Tippett 116 times = 25 goals - 21%
Johnson 111 times = 36 goals - 32% *21 goal assists, highest in the comp
Franklin 111 times = 30 goals - 27%
Roughead 106 times = 28 goals - 26%
Kennedy 104 times = 35 goals - 33%
Pavlich 92 times = 40 goals - 43%

Honourable Mentions
Podsiadly 71 times = 29 goals - 41%
B Green = 77 times = 29 goals - 37%

As I mentioned last time, I realise this probably there are probably heaps of contributing factors, and it's not the be all and end all. I don't include small forwards given they often crumb opportunities from others being the I50 target.

Doubled team all day but still kicked another 5 goals  . Now 5 clear at the top of the goalkicking ladder

The AFL Record confirmed Jack is taller than his cousin - 195cm, 93kg compared to Nick who is 193cm, 98kg. Jack grew another 2cm over summer and has shot up 3cm since being drafted (weighed 86kg in his first year btw). Matt Hornsby said Collins, Cotchin and Polo have also shot up.

Jack said in an interview with Richo shown at half-time that he fibbed a bit to the footy record and he is probably 194cm/92kg. He said him and Nick are pretty much the same height but Nick a bit more bulk.

One thing with this, I hope we nip any Richo-itis in the bud our midfielders might develop in terms of always looking for one target. Actually today he still kicked 5, but Sydney did a better job than most teams have double teaming him. LRT is a goof and looked almost decent, Grundy was excellent initiating contact just as Jack was going to and consequently putting Jack off balance. Overall Jack hurt them in small parts of the game, but during most of the 2nd and 3rd we were just bombing it to Jack and hoping and they were rebounding and killing us. Got to get smarter here.

One thing that is nice - how good is it to have players who kick straight in the forward line. Jack's kicking is now very good and Griffiths looks one of the most natural set shots you'll ever see for an 18 y.o.

Spot on Jake, agree wholeheartedly with all this.

might have to get my old #8 jumper out  l'm starting to like Rewoldt 

[Stripes]

Brilliant player who inspires and elevates those around him. If he can't mark it he brings it to ground and is great at keeping the ball alive when he can't pick up the ball in conjestion by kicking it along the ground (has to be his soccer background!). He could have easily kicked another tonight but instead set up Collins. Just a champion forward all round.
