Doesn’t matter
Jacks just about the smartest and most beautifully skilled two sided player I’ve ever seen, yet Nick wins which shows just how good he was.

Just have seen how he acts and talks and worked out his highly he rates himself
Because people like to talk down Jack for some reason.
Not being as good overall as Nick isnt a bad thing. Jack is a star.

Coming in 2nd to Nick Reiwoldt isnt a bad thing. He was a freak.
Him and Richo changed how modern forwards play with their running ability.
Jack is a star and under rated but Nick is the better player.

Sam Mitchell?
Only because they’re cousins. If they weren’t there would be no reason to compare the two. However, seeing that the question has been asked - yes, Nick easily.

I'm my opinion, Jack has matured into a much better and rounded footballer the last 2 or so seasons. I think he's a very smart and instinctive footballer, more so than Nick, but overall Nick has fairly comfortably been better.

Richo and Nick would be the better comparison, similar type of players.
I’d take Richo.

If Nick Riewoldt was playing in this Richmond team even this year, they would be unbeatable.

He doesn't play a true CHF role like Riewoldt or Richo did where he roams up the ground to provide that link man marking target, he's still a guy that is most effective playing closer to goals.
Not that it makes him a bad player, he's still good in that role but he doesn't have the impact on games that Nick did unless he kicks a bag.

I mean youre not wrong that his not a true CHF like those 2. But he does move up the ground, he does play as a link player reguallry. Hes not the big contested mark playing up the hald back line, but he regularly is the player up in the forward half he links up and then passes the ball to the players runnning past.
Also fid you watch any of the finals last year?
Im sure it was mentioned over and over again by the commentary team that Jack just needs to bring the ball to ground to have a win.
With a small forward line just halving a contenst and not letting the opposition mark it creates a HUGE impact for Richmond.
Then on op of that he works hard to pressure, chase, tackle, man marks and make sure the ball then doesnt leave.
So no, he really doesnt need to kick a big to have an impact.

Jack has played in a period of VFL/AFL footy that is uniquely hostile to his best position so I think he will always be underrated. That said, Nick was the second best key forward of this century so far. No contest.
He is and to be fair, 90% of forwards who have played in the last 20 years wouldn’t be near Nick’s standard, so it’s not a bad place to be. He’s a great forward regardless.
Yeh exactly, he'd be in my top 5 of the 2000s for sure.
