The Tackle: Tigers lowball Jack, final word on Dusty talk

Jack Riewoldt has a call to make on a 17th season after a lowball contract offer from Richmond. And rivals have an easy decision to make on Dustin Martin.

Lowball? Jack will support the Club and play on next year on a smaller wage- no issues at all.

[Knighter]

Jack's taken millions of dollars out of the club over the last 13 seasons.  If he is lucky enough to get another contract offer he should take whatever it is and shut the hell up.  Lowball!!! FMD

Slobbo has clearly been worded up by Jack and hence the comment.

Bit of a stretch.

I trust in Jack until evidence to the contrary. I don't trust in Robbo until he sobers up (= never).

The Herald Sun reported Riewoldt was likely to accept a “lowball offer” that would see him paid around $300,000 to play on in 2023.

-----------------

“Jack Riewoldt has an offer in place that will be on less money. The reason is because Tim Taranto will go to Richmond on up to a seven-year deal.

“Riewoldt hasn’t agreed yet. [He] is expected to but faces a significant pay cut, $300,000 a year is the figure that Mark Robinson’s referred to in the Herald Sun today.” - Tom Browne.

Dunno about anyone else but calling 300k lowball is pretty offensive.

300k is incredible money, I'd even guess to say it's not far off average wage for an AFL player whe. You take into account all the rookie contracts.

What a bad take. Jack has more than earned his salary with his contributions to the club on and off the field. He has also turned down more lucrative offers throughout his career to stay at Richmond - freo and Essendon in the early to mid 2010’s come to mind. There was also the renegotiation of his contract in 2018 (rance and Cotchin also) to allow the club to fit in lynch.

Yes he’s been paid well over the years but to suggest he’s some money hungry man who’d be lucky to get another contract and should just take whatever’s handed to him is so far wide of the mark it’s not funny.

Maybe someone has an official source somewhere but I swear i read somewhere Selwood opted to take ~150-200K so the team can keep firing

[pmac21]

$300k is 5 times more than the average worker
