Give us your criteria for a complete player. Is it skill based criteria only or does it include physical attributes too?
Riewoldt converted at just over 60%, that's pretty good. Nothing special, but pretty good.
As a supporter of a club, some opposition players just strike fear into you when your team is lining up against them. Riewoldt never did for me when Geelong played St Kilda. The best he managed against the Cats was 3.2 in a 7 goal loss.
Very good player. As honest as the day is long and a heart as big as Phar Lap, durable, but nothing special, imo.
718.455 over 326 games. Only year his accuracy was under 50% was 2002 (33.36). In 2001 he kicked 21.18 which was his next worse.
Next thread.
I remember Harry Taylor beating him in the 2009 gf. I also remember Taylor taking 2 crucial contested marks in the dying stages of the game, deep into the St Kilda forward line. I don't remember Riewoldt really being in either contest.
But why focus on a handful of games.
+ hirdMy all time greatest fear inducing players ...
Ablett SR
Ablett JR
Buddy
Judd
Judd especially in the infamous 2013 EF. In what could have been a tight 3rd he was the difference, and bought a few other team mates along with him
If there was one player who didn't play for my team that I wish had won a flag, it would be himFor all the good work he did, most of it was undone with poor kicking for goal.
Discuss....
Couldn't disagree more.
I would rate him as a top three player for this century. A generational player.
A champion but sadly he will mostly be remembered for his horrific mistake in the 2010 grand final
Wouldn't even have him in the top three forwards. But yes, a champion.
Lol.I know which game you were referring too, I was just countering with the game that really mattered in the end.
Yes he did have a great career of 300+ games.

Nothing special? He would literally be Geelong's greatest CHF of all time.

Joe Daniher, Jay Neagle and Mitch Brown?Wouldn't even have him in the top three forwards.
Stupid post!
And here you were today arguing with me over the athletes of yesteryear and use one single moment in one game to define a champion
s**t fight most the timewhy do Op's insist on putting discuss at the end of their OP?
What the fu** do you think people are going to do?
turned the tide? we hadn't hit the *in scoreboard yet! Collingwood started well and we couldn't get our hands on the pill, we never had no tideIf you read clearly I never said it defines him, but it was the biggest moment of his football career, the moment that turned the tide of a grand final. What other on field moment did he have bigger than that? Go on?
As I said, champion player, but clearly grand final performances are far more important than any other games.
Nothing special? He would literally be Geelong's greatest CHF of all time.
Not certain of that. This will be scoffed at I’m sure but Hawkins is likely to finish his career with a similar goal tally and while you could argue that he plays deeper than Riewoldt, he’s closer to a CHF than a FF. Different style players mind you and Riewoldt pushed away from goal more than Hawkins but by the same token Hawkins has built a career on setting up teammates as well. Our boy for some reason cops a lot of grief in the general afl community but statistically he is going to finish in the same vicinity as the three dominant power forwards of the century (given that Buddy probably doesn’t belong in the same category) in Riewoldt, Pavlich and Brown.
All better than the game you're referencing.
The OP is also a saints supporter who wants everyone to say how good Nick wasNick was a gun, the OP is without substance and research. Discuss.
