One of the top players of this century.In a domestic game which still hasn't produced a complete player .When u think about that I rate Riewoldt right up there with the best.
Dusty is pretty well rounded

Well that's incorrect. He might be remembered by you for that incident but dont assume others will share that viewA champion but sadly he will mostly be remembered for his horrific mistake in the 2010 grand final

My all time greatest fear inducing players ...

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

2x Premiership and sometime Victorian captain Fred Flanagan is Geelong's greatest CHF of all-time.
Reckon you’re a pretty decent poster and whilst I think Hawkins is underrated he certainly isn’t in the same category as those three.
Nick Riewoldt had another 3 seasons in him. Saints have no leaders and he could easily have got a game. He's still bitter about it just like Bartel
Nick is all class, on and off field, but he will forever have an emptiness in not winning a flag. All the well wishes and back slaps won't rectify that.
His cousin, on the other hand, has been great in 2 final series. That contested tap to Martin q3 v Cats was class.

Ah ok. Yeah probably 1 maybe 2 seasons max but behind closed doors its a different scenario I guessHe maybe had one more season left in him at the most but he was starting to struggle in his last season so I think he made the right call to retire.
He had a chronic knee injury which plagued him in the last few years of his career where he was barely training at all during the week.
He tore his adductor during the week at training.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.
This century, 100 years...you have him second. You have buddy on top? Wow oh wee.Which forwards have been better this century? I'd only have Buddy ahead.
+ cousins.+ hird
guy was unstoppable
While Nick Reiwoldt was okay, Royce Hart was better!
