reckon over the last two yrs contested marks for jack has dramatically dropped of. actually contesting the ball in the air as well. id also say probably 80 90% of his goals have been opportunistic crumb like goals. hes kicking 50 60 odd a yr and that stat alone is covering over the cracks in the rest of his game.
reckon the way its going we should be looking to play riewoldt more as a third tall option than a kpf. the trouble is vickery plays like a flanker as well and there is no other kpf options atm.we cant have both kpfs becoming invisible throughout games.
the whole idea of having two kpfs and a ruck fwd is to allow at least one to get off the leash if the other is being held.

the concern with both jack and vickery in particular  is this. if they dont snag 3 or so goals their output and contributions in most other areas makes em a liability.

Never understand why Hardwick specified wanting less goals from Riewoldt rather than just wanting more goals from the side as a whole.

All Hardwick managed to achieve with his stupid proclamation was to mess with Riewoldt's head and the heads of those delivering the ball in ...no small coincidence our forward line's been completely dysfuctional since he said it.

did he say less goals or less reliance? (ie less percentage of our goals)

I think what he was saying is that we need to be more dimensional than just kick it to jack.

One of the big issues in recent times is the ball being blazed away in his direction when he has two or three enemy hanging off him and all hardwick wanted was for there to be more options and for those delivering the ball to look for the best option.

I know you look for anything to hang it on hardwick, but geez, do you really want a one dimensional forward line where all the opposition has to do is double team the sole focal point?

Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Why the stuff is Jack not just left where he plays best. I hope the hell people don't blame Jack for this, Hardwick clearly plays him out of position all the time!!!!

Agreed, but the delivery into our FWD50 is horrible anyway, he probably wouldnt be much better off at this stage.

Jack may as well pack his bags and go home for the rest of the game - doesnt have any interest in the game today does Jack - very disappointing for a highly paid player.

Jack was disappointed getting dropped from the leadership group.  He's got a massive opportunity to show some leadership in the second half.
