Jack Riewoldt [Merged]

1 goal plus 2 totally gettables and FIVE goal assists. Jack is not what he used to be but I think his value is underestimated. He takes a quality backman and where possible ensures his man cannot come over the top and spoil Lynch.

Just an amazing player over his career.

Hopefully just a tune up before September.

Opportunity cost when he is quiet is significant. Cannot chase or apply pressure (yes, there was one rundown).

 

[artball]

his kick to KMac ... you don't see much better ...

then Kmac goals ..

I've been critical of some of his play this year but hius recent form is pretty bloody good. His effort/work rate has been amazing. Helps that we now have more weapons and he isn't being double/triple teamed. But his effort is undeniable. And his deft taps, nudges, flicks, kick ons are still the best in the game.

The only annoying thing are the obvious/silly frees he gives away but he's not on his own there.

I wanted him to retire at years end but I have moved to the play on camp.

I really liked his game apart from the misses.

 

[tigerman]

Whenever we get a free kick Jack thinks it's his, twice the umpire had to tell him it's not yours. Ten out of ten for trying, ya got to love Jack.

Cost me $180 with that last miss right on the siren.
I hate him today

 

[btoz_01]

IMO has played well enough to get another year if he wants to go around again

Like Dusty, the champ does what he wants

 

[FitenFitenWin]

Just got a feeling that Jack had a look about him like this might have been his last game.

 

[Smoking Aces]

Continues to kick clutch goals in big games. He needs to play next year.

 

[Tigers of Old]

Will be questioning his future.

 

[Dyer'ere]

Took many wounds. Survived.

Agree. Who else could play his role? We have no one.

 

[Mr Brightside]

Jack is one of the very few who deserves the right to make his own call on next year, Im not convinced the cubs are going to be quite good enough yet for us to genuinely contend , if Jack feels the same ( he won’t) I say he retires, however

 

[Coburgtiger]

What a champion.

What an effort that was.

3 of the most clutch, high degree of difficulty goals, you will ever see.

He did what almost no one in the league can do with those kicks.

If should have been enough.

 

[Baloo]

That was a master class in clutch set shot kicking. He can easily go another year if that's what he wants.

 

[Total Tiger]

Last night showed to me how badly the club screwed up their captaincy decision this year. Performing at the highest point of pressure and being able to motivate your teammates to do the same is the stuff of captains. Look at Jack's performance against Nank's. One of them played a captain's game. Unfortunately it wasn't the captain.

 

[Tenacious]

Will be questioning his future.

There's an answer to most questions and for Jack and his future it’s pretty much certain to be 2023

Don’t think we have a choice! Nothing coming through in his role Bauer the most likely but seems a bit off.
