Jack Riewoldt - Triple Coleman medallist [merged]

[Chuck17]

Maybe key defender to replace Rance?

[Yeahright]

 
One of our only consistently good performers over multiple years. Has shown he can play deep forward or an up the ground decoy role for that nuffer Vickery who more often than not doesn't make the most of it. Even his body language isn't as bad as it used to be and no one can get up and around the other guys like Jack does. To take one away you take the other

Consistently good?

Captain of the train wreck

How many other forwards have kicked 50 goals every season for the past few years? Forget the stat but there aren't many. Don't let your hatred for Reiwoldt and the club get in the way of a good rant

[Hard Roar Tiger]

It's actually 60 goals or more in 4 of the past 5 seasons with a 58 thrown in the middle. Also rates highly in score assists.
Can be annoying but who cares. Buddy is an f wit so what?
Output matters.

Try most other teams

[tony_montana]

and yet the past few seasons we tried to play him as a decoy for Ty, fmd... 

[Francois Jackson]

Yes masterstroke that one.

I understand the logic of finding other avenues but when that other avenue is vickery or hammer well its a pointless exercise to date.

Richmond coach Damien Hardwick says forward Jack Riewoldt can be too selfless

Richmond coach Damien Hardwick says he has cautioned key forward Jack Riewoldt against being too selfless, but admires the team-focused nature of the goalkicker's game.

Riewoldt had 11 disposals and kicked a goal in his first game of the year as the Tigers trounced Port Adelaide by 66 points in Lavington. But the sharpshooter wasn't without further chances, failing twice to hit teammates with passes when within range himself.

Hardwick was pleased with the 26-year-old's game, but acknowledged that at times Riewoldt should be more goal-hungry.

"At stages he can be [too unselfish]," Hardwick said. "We spoke about that at various stages, but then he shepherds two balls across the line, which just goes to show his value to the side."

Hardwick was particularly impressed with Riewoldt's four tackles, and admitted that it was difficult to know where to draw the line in terms of selflessness.

"The ball use inside 50 wasn't great at stages. He probably gave off a couple and tried to give off a couple too much. He's very unselfish in that area, but his work rate was enormous."

"We were pleased. He had a great defensive chase-down tackle and set the scene early. He's going to have a good year."

Well Damien, you have spent years making him like this instead of leaving him in the goal square to do what he does best!!!!!

[WilliamPowell]

Thought Jack was great yesterday

His leading up, doubling back time and time again was brilliant

[Penelope]

Well Damien, you have spent years making him like this instead of leaving him in the goal square to do what he does best!!!!!

Pretty sure Hardwick is talking about Jack dishing off when he should have a shot on goal. How is that down to him playing further up the field?
