Now...that is what you call an article!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“To be honest, I just don’t want footy to finish, I don’t even want to think about it. If I could play as long Harves (Robert Harvey, St Kilda stalwart) did, I’d be rapt. I don’t want to stop playing, I don’t want to stop training. At the moment, footy’s my job and it’s what I’m devoting all of my attention to.

Fantastic article!!!

Loved it!!

A great insight into the man, or as much as you can get from these types of interviews. He gave more of himself than he usually does.

Loved the quotes about the Collingwood supporters too

[quote]The 2005 incident lives on for Riewoldt in two ways. St Kilda supporters hold the moment dear as a sign of his passion and loyalty – they consider him Saint, not faint-hearted – and rival supporters still give him stick for being a sook. Riewoldt returns the vitriol today, singling out Collingwood fans, who are the most unsavoury, in his opinion. They’re also, according to Riewoldt, rather worked up at the moment, with a grand final that is all but theirs to lose, in many people’s opinion. “They’re out of control. I don’t know what the prerequisite is to be a Collingwood supporter but … clearly it’s … â€

Thanks for the link, what a great article.

I didnt think my crush on him could get bigger! It just did

You dont want footy to end Roo and we dont want you to ever stop playing.

Brilliant article.

And yet, it is hidden in an unknown newspaper for most of the world to miss out on.
A real shame...

(Loved the pianoman reference in the beginning - unique)

real jorunalism. nice.

not sure this is actually journalism, but it's a great interview.

Its relative new magazine that comes out weekly (obviously) and is delivered free in eastern suburbs at this stage. First time I have seen a footy related article in it. A good new magazine to compete with Fairfax.

[True Blue Sainter]

Terrific read! Really enjoyed it.

Good to see Roo keen to stick it out for a few years yet!

When you are about the best player in the comp and earn about a million bucks year, I say, why the hell not??
