Jack Riewoldt [Merged]

[WesternTiger]

One of them must have got a whisper from a producer that Jack's next goal would give him exactly half Plugger's career tally, and they were gobsmacked at the difference given Jack is a triple Coleman Medallist. It was a tangent in a one-sided game about how incredible Plugger was, using the modern champion in front of them as a reference point.

You’re being generous spook. I don’t think any of them could have explained what they were doing in an articulate way like that. P.S yes Pluggar was a champion but personally I just think the discussion was a bit disrespectful to Jack. No one bothered to state how many premierships Pluggar had won compared to Jack

Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
If Lynch doesn’t kick ‘em
Riewoldt must

obviously plagiarised from the 1970’s version and Lillee and Thommo

They're all irrelevant gnats, WT. If only we still had the option to watch with just the crowd noise. I suspect it was way too popular for some egos to allow it to continue.

 

[22nd Man]

He only played one. Kicked 6 in a losing side.

I don't think they were insulting Jack, more expressing just how incredible Plugger's numbers are. Five or more goals 145 times. Unreal.

Different times of course - higher scoring and less sophisticated defense, but still. Acknowledging Plugger as the GOAT full-forward doesn't detract from what a champion Jack is.

And was a Tiger for an hour or two.

Until the AFL, the slimy t**ds intervened. Another example of what a corrupt organization it is.
Skoda also comes to mind.

Yeah. ... shafting Richmond is not a new fandangled thing..... sadly. Making recent success much more satisfying!

Just bumped into Jack at the Preston Macca's, looks like he is shooting an ad.
Nice guy.

KFC ad?

The clock is ticking IMO. Not easily replaced but we need to start grooming a replacement cause the time is near.

Do we have a replacement on the list? Our young key position stocks seem very thin.

We don't know as CCJ is not getting a game and for me on form should be in a few to many getting to many chances.

He’s not a KPF though is he? Isn’t he a ruckman first and foremost?

Nice guy.

Also turned up on Kayo/Fox doing special comments for Suns V Aints match. You notice him doing plenty of media, and is good at it.

Ready to jump into his next career end of this year possibly? Just not sure he wants - or needs to - go around again in '22. Has never had leg-speed and lots of minor ops over his career. Game getting harder for an aging KPF like that?

After 3 flags in 4 years, wouldn't surprise me if Jack calls time.

Mabs is the one we've invested so much in..

JR8 has had a really good start to the season, but he really struggled against Geelong.
It's not over yet for the Richmond champion.
I wouldn't mind seeing another tall forward being selected, so Jack could play more of a ruck-roving role around the forward half of the ground. He's got so many footy smarts.

I’m starting to wonder if CCJ is real.

 

[Coburgtiger]

We are taking the *smile* playing Jack and Tom against 6 opponents all the time.

 

[123cups]

He just had the best start to a season in his entire career. Geelong dominated our forward line, so Tom and Jack were both systematically beaten. I don’t think age was a factor.

But as for list management (which is always happening regardless), the club has already secured 6 picks in the first 3 rounds of this year’s draft, plus they brought in Lynch in between.

Jack’s performances and the club’s planning for his retirement have both been first class and at the upper end of what you’d expect, so we’re in a good place in this situation.

Let’s hope Jack plays well for a while longer and has a talented apprentice to take under his wing before he leaves, like Richo did for him.

Has had a blinder of a season has Jack. Still on target for around 60 goals at this rate. Last time he did that was 2018 and has only done so 5 seasons. Last 2 been a bit quieter, probably getting a bit more attention due to his good season.
