Not to have a shot, but hasn't Riewoldt kicked 17 goals in the last 3 weeks. ... and each essentially meaningless?

Toga · June 09, 2014, 06:01:48 PM

What do you mean by essentially meaningless Oz? A goal is a goal, someone has to kick them :P

Nige · June 09, 2014, 06:02:32 PM

The 11 vs GWS helped us win that game... :P

Junktime Jack

Jack can't win, he kicks goals he gets bagged.
He doesn't kick goals he gets bagged.

Ty Vickery offered a three match ban for striking Michael Firrito, down to two with an early plea.

Matt Thomas offered a one match suspension for engaging in rough conduct against Brent Harvey.
Whelp.

Hopefully O'Hanlon and Helbig/Arnot come in for them then.
Not massive loses.
They seem like the logical replacements.

Like someone said on the NMFC facebook page this morning, would be more of a punishment to force Richmond to play Vickery for the next 3 weeks rather than let them off easy and suspend him :P

Giants were terrible, those 11 goals meant nothing really

Kicked the other 6 in the final quarters of Essendon and North when the game was over

At least he kept trying till the end unlike many of his teammates.

Ricochet · June 10, 2014, 09:44:01 AM

Does that say more about Jack or his teammates getting him the ball.

Yeah, fair enough Oz and you're not the first person that has said that, but I don't really agree in this situation. Rusty sums up my thoughts on it:

And regardless, as Jroo said it doesn't matter what Jack does he will get bagged so there's not that much point in defending him :P

It's really silly IMO to say Jack Riewoldt's goals didn't matter because then in perspective:

1. None of Travis Cloke's goals this entire season have mattered.
2. Chad Wingard's mark didn't matter.
3. Roughead's goals didn't matter, or any forward who kicked goals against a weaker team or when the game was over
