Hah hah hah. Cmon. Ease up. Full credit but be honest: Next to zero competition. Eagles were a disgrace. I gave him 3 votes, but that performance from WCE was the worst of the year - including Norf’s terrible performances.

Could say that about every player out there tonight on that basis.
We'll certainly know more in coming weeks whether this result is real or an illusion.
Hack he isn't but seems to play like one. Worrying signs.
Couldve/should've kicked 10 big deal.
Plucked a couple of rippers tonight.
Confidence is building, looks super fit.
I just hope we can learn to chip passes to him instead of sending every ball into orbit for him to try to mark it.
Really good game. Strong

We can see the gulf between Tom Lynch the A grade forward, and Jack Riewoldt the Hall of Famer, in games like yesterday.
There's a reason Jack's kicked 10 in a game. Twice.
And there's a reason the only Tom Lynch to kick 10 played for Adelaide.
Lynchy has several elite attributes. Jack, throughout his career, has had all of them.
Kicking the mega bags (10+), only happens if you can mark on the lead, mark in a pack, mark in a wrestle, kick a set shot, goal from a stoppage, kick a banana, kick on both feet, and instinctively snap.
Jack Riewoldt is unbelievable in how he has been able to do all of those. Tommy is much more credible.
I have a theory that Tom
A) is severely hampered by his Bung finger
B) lost a lot of confidence and enjoyment playing after a year of being demonised by the media
Point B is the kicker. I think he has not recovered mentally
Edit - in reference to coberg’s post above. I don’t think he’s disinterested but protecting himself or unable to be as present as he could be. #fanstin Freud

Bloody amazing how well the key forwards can play when they get some decent incoming ball. Hopefully being able to dine out against an incompetent Wet Coke provides the entire team that little extra spark that's been missing in recent weeks.
Why is it some weeks his hand are like wooden planks and some weeks like Stewart Loewe buckets?
The surprising bit for me was his mobility. I only see my beloved Tiges on the telly so it is hard to know what goes on off the ball (and commentary seems to be a lost art) but he was moving better than I've seen in 2 years. I know he works hard off the ball, but he was running and jumping in this game. The whole team was "running on top of the ground" as they say.
