[jack_riewoldt_rulz]

I am Jack Riewoldt fan but what dose every 1 else think of him in hes last 3 games at coburg hes has got 5,2,3 goals and has not kicked a point would you guys think he will play cats ?

 

[tugga]

How old are you?

 

[hougie]

Impressed me at Coburg... however this is a pointless poll; who'd have a clue after 3 games in the 2's?

Maybe you're after a 'when should he debut' poll?

 

[hougie]

How old are you?

I'll put my money on 14...

Good contested mark at Tassie. Tigers should play him. Nothing to lose.

 

[rfctigerarmy]

You say he's a 'star' and that he 'rulz' so I'll go with 'a super star'.

 

[Wally Matera]

How old are you?

Hasnt even been through puberty yet... needs to gets some fur on those jats before posting mate.

 

[Vince Spadea]

Poor Jack hasn't played a senior game yet and already he has a stalker.

Leave him alone, its good we have some young passionate RiCHmonD FanS oN ThiS sITe...
But serioulsy, i like jack riewoldts rulz work

 

[Bojangles17]

pretty early to say, however I have a feeling that the cards just may have fallen our way with this bloke and he may indeed be the best KPP to emerge from the 2006 draft on the back of performances to date compared to hanson and Gumbleton

I voted superstar.

I've seen him a couple of times at Coburg and I'm just super impressed. And I'm not easily impressed (.... are you thinking of a blue car right now? )

As we've seen with Polak, the highest rated KPPs will go nowhere if they don't have the right attitude. After seeing Lachlan Hansen on the footy show it is clear as daylight that he is a bogan with no leadership qualities.

Jack Riewoldt has an arrogance and confidence that rubs off onto his teammates. He has that Dermie look about him, and that is about ten times rarer than a superstar KPP. To get a footballer as talented as him to have such great leadership and attitude qualities is a massive bonus and other clubs have underrated the importance of character (something GM and TW rate very highly; see JON, Patto, Edwards etc)

If you were a player at the Tigers who would you want to train with everyday for the next 10 years? Riewoldt or Hansen?!! It's pretty obvious.

I think Richmond may have picked the best KPP of the draft. It depends on how he stands up in the AFL becauser Hansen has had it harder. Gumby hasn't shown much at VFL yet but we can't read anything into that imo

The general feeling was that Jack Riewoldt was the 2nd best contested mark in the draft - behind Tom Hawkins.

So why did he fall so late in the draft? I was under the impression it was due to lack of leg speed and that's pretty much it. He has the trademark 'Riewoldt endurance', a brilliant mark, great kick (way better than Nick) and brilliant reading of the play.

Thank god that Jack lives at Tigerland and should be a 15+ year champion!!

I guess you must be Deledio and Tambling's test tube baby then? When are you elligable for the draft?

After seeing Lachlan Hansen on the footy show it is clear as daylight that he is a bogan with no leadership qualities./quote]

The only thing IMO that is "clear as daylight" is the space between your ears. All the boys on the Footy Show were a bit nervous and to say Hansen is a bogan with no leadership qualities is a pretty big call. Hansen was voted by his team mates at last years U/18 carnival as the MVP for Vic Country. The players were asked to rank in order from 1-3 the players in their team they thought had the most talent, potential and work ethic needed to succeed at AFL level.

Judging people on their first live TV appearance is pretty harsh. Riewoldt didn't excatly shine, however, I'm not about to call him an inbred 2 headed Tasmanian.

They will both ultimately be judged by their on-field performances over the next 10 - 15 years. Good luck to them both and I hope that in future they develop a healthy on field rivalry.

 

[lids2004roar]

Lachlan Hansen IS a bogan. Honestly couldn't you see it or are you just defending him?

I never doubted his talent btw. And FWIW Jack had 1 line to say on TFS and he was the most confident of the lot, including the slow "yea-nah" Gibbs.

Hansen is a bogan teen who will never be able to represent the club in the media without serious training in personal skills. It is fair to judge him on his appearance from TFS because only bogans act like he acted. Has an IQ of below 75 and is a great footballer. I'm sure a majority of the country thinks the same.

 

[sante]

Jack did seem the most outgoing and confident of those who were on TFS. Finally, it looks as if we will have some decent leaders at the club.

Gotta say thats one of the most biased outlooks i've seen on bigfooty. Just out of curiousity have you actually watched Gumbleton play? He's been super impressive and has kicked 9 goals playing in the Ruck and Centre Half Forward and in the best 2 out of 3 matches. And your point on Hansen being a bogan is totally irrelevant to wether or not he'll be a good football player in which i have no doubt he will.

 

[Tarkyn_24]

He will be a superstar.

He is good.

 

[Cheeseman]

I watched him play on ANZAC day, and I was very impressed with the kids showing.

He is already a good size, and is prepared to lead up onto the wing and work hard to position himself.

I see him as a lead up CHF, in a very similar mould to his cousin "the comparison is unavoidable"

Were it not for the fact that his last game was on Wednesday, He would be pushing for a spot in the seniors already.

You definately got a good here guys, good luck.

P.S: Kelvin Moore has to be considered for a call up too, is another likely type.

Lachlan Hansen IS a bogan. Honestly couldn't you see it or are you just defending him?

Happy as a Kangaroos supporter to defend him against someone who has seen him once on TV.

I honestly couldn't see it benny. Saw 5 young kids who were all pretty nervous on National TV for the first time. As I said calling someone a Bogan after a few seconds on TV is a big call.

I saw his media interview on Draft day on Channel 10 and he spoke very well. Also caught up with him at the Kangaroos family day at Docklands and he was very approachable. We all have off days.

Obviously you could see it, but then again as they say,

"it does take one to know one"

I have to agree. I saw a nervous kid, that's all. Saying Hansen won't be any good based on a 20 second appearance on TFS is being silly at the very least. And anyone who spoke after Gibbs (who was ultra impressive and had obviously had more media exposure) was going to look like a rabbit caught in a spotlight.

I was impressed at the maturity of your response (a rare feature on Big Footy) until your last line which was plain childish.

I am just at uni now and I know people like him. "What's happening at the Kangaroos atm Lachlan?" "errr I dunno!! eh-u-heh!"

You really really don't need to be someone's best friend to know what they're like. There are many studies that show that by simply looking at someone's bedroom you can learn more about them than by spending 6 months getting to know them. The same thin-slicing applies to spending a few seconds hearing someone which you learn more about them than 6 months of talking to them.

These are facts, judging someone's response to multiple questions on TV in a 2 minute interview is a fair indication of what he is like. James Frawley was nervous, he was shaking a little, went a bit red, eyes a little watery, stumbled a bit. Hansen wasn't shaking at all he was just a... well for lack of a better word, a doofus.


Why is it a surprise an Aussie bogan is great at football? A lot of footballers are unintelligent you know.

 

[roostertalk]

Think you're being a tad harsh benny,might not be a rocket scientist but doesn't mean we have to judge the kid and brand him a backward bogan. Besides as much as it pains me to say there have been plenty of bogan leaders in the past who let their actions do the talking and as a result are good leaders.
