At 33, and with 313 games on the odometer, Jack Riewoldt still has some high-quality performances left in the tank.
Tom Lynch has been the star of the show in attack this season for Richmond, but on Saturday night in the Dreamtime at the ‘G game against Essendon, it was all about the three-time Coleman Medallist – and it might be in the coming weeks.
Lynch suffered a hamstring injury against the Bombers and spent the final quarter on the bench after kicking 0.4 up until that point.
Riewoldt produced his best performance of the season, finishing with four goals (4.2) from 10 marks and eight score involvements.
The three-time premiership player has been a star for a long time and doesn’t want to exit the game quietly.
Riewoldt, who made his AFL debut in the 2017 Dreamtime at the ‘G match, has kicked the most combined goals by any player in the blockbuster annual event – 30.
In the eight games Riewoldt has played this season, he’s booted 20 goals.
