Jack Riewoldt will play his 300th in 3 weeks on Saturday the 17th of July vs Brisbane at the MCG if all goes well. ( Now this Friday the 16th v Brisbane)
He was recruited in the 2006 Draft at pick 13, from the Tassie Marinners.
'Richmond’s Recruiting Manager Francis Jackson was a nervous man in the days leading up to the 2006 AFL National Draft . . .
Jackson knew exactly who he wanted to take with the Club’s first selection in that draft – a Tasmanian teenage star forward by the name of Jack Riewoldt.
The problem for Jackson was that the Tigers had exchanged their original first round draft pick in a deal for Fremantle’s versatile big man Graham Polak
.
They had parted with pick 8 and, in return, received Polak and the Dockers’ first-round selection, which was pick 13.' -RFC club website.
I think Greg Miller was involved in recruiting then as well.
An incredibly valuable player over 14 years and one of the great forwards of all time.
