when he got the free in the pocket at the city end, you just knew he'd kick the goal. Loved it.
Me too momentai.
Jack is definitely still contributing.
He may be a bit older, he may be bit slower but he's still as smart & his hunger for success & sheer competitiveness looks as high as ever.
Still will keep any defence honest as a 2nd fiddle. Hope it continues for a while yet.
Champion, champion player. IMO, still underrated by the competition, hard as that is for me to believe.
I couldnt be a bigger fan of his - and feel blessed to have watched him these last 10 + years.
I love how he's been a footy head as a player. Super smart about footy. When I hear all these morons in the media who know nothing about the game and teams/players who just stir up *smile*, it pisses me off that Jack and Nick arent on primetime 7 or radio with their own show to discuss footy.
We'd have the better footy analysis of the old days.
We have been blessed to have him. Smart, smart and smart.
Needs 10 more goals to overtake Saverio and then will have a nice symmetry of 3 Tigers at 12, 13 and 14 on the all time goalkickers list - Richo on 800, KB on 778 and wherever Jack ends up.

Little bit of wet slowed the run down to his pace n made it difficult for players to manouevre and adjust their body positioning. Jaaack having superb cat like stance n balance took full advantage n went hunting Bloosers.
I'm the biggest Jack fan around, and I think he's still earning his pay and glad he's in the side this season, but I agree. Cruelled by the free reversal, but first goalless game for the year.
Disagree. Still playing a big role in our forward line. Plus we have no one to replace him.
Lynch and De Koning were holding each other. Not sure who the umpire was but he would be the type of grade 6 kid who would tell the grade 1 kids that there is no Santa Claus.
That was brilliant by Jack. Unbelievable umpiring decision. Actually not that unbelievable.
Against Geelong Daniel Rioli was crucial in our successes. But crucial in too many of theirs. He's still learning the caper.
Jack was good and bad too.
Is Jack hated by umpires? He's 43yo. He should have a handle on that by now. And he should take control of the challenge.
Jack was pretty good over all. He could have used better. But meh.
Why doesn't Jack study the rules and get a few frees instead of gifting games to the other side?
He's victimised? Sure. But who cares? It's time to win football games.

‘Really didn’t like that’: Tigers gun recounts ‘stop the game’ pleas after star teammate’s concussion

Richmond star Jack Riewoldt believes play should’ve been stopped more quickly in the aftermath of Dion Prestia’s concussion during Saturday’s blockbuster against Geelong.
As medical staff convened around Prestia, play continued to resume, with the Fox Footy commentary team baffled at the continuation, which eventually resulted in a goal to Cats forward Tyson Stengle.
“I was screaming at the umpires, I think there was probably a few of us saying ‘stop the game’ because clearly he was knocked out,” Riewoldt said on AFL 360.
“I’m a bit flat about the minute-and-a-half of play after this; there were multiple times to stop the game. Blokes are kicking the ball over the top of him and the doctors. I thought that could’ve been handled a lot better.
“It’s the duty of care ... you’ve got three medical people looking over a player that’s knocked out in the vicinity of play in the protected zone - it could’ve nearly been 50 metres, he was in the protected zone - and we continued to play that game.
“From a safety point of view I really didn’t like that.”

They stopped play later in the same bloody game for a head knock.
The umps knew they'd *smile* up. But of course the AFL say " nothing to see here".
