Re: Riewoldt
Not sure how it is that he's underrated?
He's a legend of the club with Harves and Plugger. Like the other two, it's hard to believe his actual output (numbers/accolades)

Re: Riewoldt
Less than 100 marks needed now to break Dempsey's all time record !
and 180 odd next year would see him break the 3000 mark .
Possible as he ended this year with 222 ! wouldn't that role nicely off Richie's tongue !

.DANIEL Merrett says having to chase fellow Gold Coast junior Nick Riewoldt all over Etihad Stadium yesterday reinforced his decision to hang up the boots.
Merrett played his 200th and final senior match in the 58-point loss to the Riewoldt-inspired St Kilda and was chaired from the ground with players from both teams forming a guard of honour for the colourful key defender.
Family, friends and former teammates such as Jonathan Brown, Troy Selwood, Matt Maguire, Andrew Raines, Joel Patfull and Jed Adcock surrounded Merrett after the match in the Brisbane dressingrooms while Luke Power paid a visit before the game

Re: Riewoldt
The boys in our future forward lines and every young Saint on the list will benefit from having a champion like Rooy at the club and seeing what he can achieve even this late in his career. What a player!! What a hardworker and what a smart footballer!!
Brandon White said it best when asked what's it like being out there with the skipper today; "He's a freak. Absolute freak. Legend of the club and I aspire to be like him"

Re: Riewoldt
There are not enough superlatives in the thesaurus.
An out and out legend.
Trying to get him to 10 yesterday was one of the crowd highlights of the season.
What I love most is how bloody happy he looks every time he sings the song with Joey and Chips.

Re: Riewoldt
Nearly 34 years old.
A career of playing in one of the most demanding positions on the field and being crashed, bashed and triple teamed.
And still averaging per game :
21 possessions
10.5 marks
2 goals.
2 tackles
110 dream team points.
Could he go on for another two years?

Re: Riewoldt
I remember a lot of the football community thought him playing till 2018 was a dream.
It's only his knees holding him back and my heart is in my mouth whenever the commentary says Reiwoldt is slow to get up, but he keeps on trucking like an absolute champion.

Re: Riewoldt
I was listening to the commentary yesterday and Mooney was talking about his endurance. He said something like, "You see him bent over with his hands on his head and think he's stuffed, but then he takes off again." They were marvelling at his capacity to just keep running.Griggsy wrote:I remember a lot of the football community thought him playing till 2018 was a dream.

Would be awesome to see him go on for two more years.

gawd, saints fans are privileged.
We might only have one premiership cup but we have been able watch some amazing players over the years, we are able to call our own.
Roo, Lenny, Banger, Plugger, Cuz, Robbie, Big Carl, The Doc, Stewie Lowe and Ian Stewart just to name a few of the best.

Re: Riewoldt
I hate the running thing ... Makes him and Harvey sound like they were only good because they were
'Gut runners'
You have to be able to get the ball also
Harvey - 25+ per game for 383 games
Riewoldt - 9 marks a game for 318 games

But not even in the AA squad. What a sick joke.
I started with nothing and I've got most of it left!
