Well done to Jack. I've been very critical of him in the past but he's pulled his head in and let his football do the talking, so I now eat my words.
Yes I was too. Two years ago I was sure that he was not going to make it and I believe that if he had of continued under Wallace he wouldn't have, we wouldn't have seen what we have seen with him this year. All the stars aligned for him mid season and has shown remarkable improvement just as so many others under the current coaching and development structure. There is one excellent element that nobody saw with Jack Reiwoldt and you can't see it because it isn't a physical attribute and that element is his ability to "think", he has a football brain, he is innovative, knows how to use his body, excellent at ground level, knows were to bring the ball to ground, can himself rove packs and has a magnificent pair of hands.
There's more than a few of us that got it wrong with this kid, but then again it's been decades since we have had anybody in the coaching ranks that had half an idea about developing a player (Northey the exception) I think a few of us just might have forgot that it was possible, well it is.
