Jack Riewoldt is emulating Matthew Richardson in more ways than taking big marks and kicking goals for Richmond.
‘Jumping Jack’ has inherited the Tiger passion that became such a ‘Richo’ trademark throughout his wonderful 17-season league career.
“Something I learnt from Richo is that if we can get as many guys as possible to start living and bleeding Yellow and Black, then we’re going to go somewhere special,” Riewoldt said in ‘The Fighting Tiger’ Year Book.
“It’s going to be special for this club and everyone involved with it, and all the supporters. And, there are going to be bigger stories than myself winning the Jack Dyer Medal, or the Coleman Medal . . . there’s going to be premiership success in the near future for the Club.”
And, Riewoldt is committed to doing whatever it takes to secure that 11th league premiership for the Tigers . . .
“I’m one of the bigger bodies in the side, so I like to do a lot of the grunt work for the team,” he said.
I try to work as hard as I can because I love the Club, and I love playing with the 21 other guys in the team each week.
