Richmond coach Damien Hardwick has labelled key forward Jack Riewoldt’s season as his best yet, citing his consistent goalkicking and ability to have an impact in every match.

Averaging three goals per game, Riewoldt is sitting second on the AFL goalkicking leaderboard, and is ranked No. 1 at the Club for score assists.

“Jack, I think, has had his best season since I’ve been at the footy club.  He’s probably on track for around 60 goals,” Hardwick said.

“His impact in games has been bigger and better than in years previous.

“He’s not kicking seven and then kicking one, he regularly kicks three or four goals, which is a great result for us.”

Hardwick underlined the importance of key forwards Ty Vickery and Aaron Edwards, along with Richmond’s midfielders, in contribute to the scoreboard.

“The spread of goalkickers we’re really pleased with.  Jack plays his role and does what’s required, and we’re winning too, so that’s the good thing about it,” Hardwick said.
