    Pick 13 in 2006, and to think we went for Everitt at pick 11 - what a miss, plus he is Rocket's cousin on mothers side (not nick's side)
    Superstar. I still recall he almost single-handedly got them into the 18 GF in that prelim. Best game I saw him play.

        What did we see in Everitt ? Apart tall athlete , maybe potential footballer. I still don't get it.

                  Great player. One of the great key forwards in the game.

                    Can we get Riewoldt down to teach goal kicking ? He has a good routine

                      It's amazing how views change over the years. I absolutely hated the guy and thought he was a complete knob. He's been a great player for the Tigers and has been a huge positive for them on and off the field. Times catching him and has pulled the pin at the right time. Bravo on a great career.

                        You're right he was more than a tad annoying in the early days and didn't he once jump the fence in his footy gear and catch a train rather than have to deal with a couple of reporters?
                        I liked him on the regular AFL 360 segment and whenever I heard him on the radio.

                          He gets brownie points for that act-good lateral thinking and a bit of an environmental flavour-bravo. Don’t mind him but hated it when he and Dusty took us to the cleaners. Might be a good assistant.

                            Jack is definitely smarter than I ever thought he was and loved how selfless he was in the second half of his career and got his just reward.

                            I think a few doggies players could learn a bit by listening to him, the majority in our group right now aren't prepaid to sacrifice themselves for the benefit of the team even our role players don't tackle at the Kennel.

                                Just horrible. I thought he was a sniper on field but nothing excuses this type of thug behaviour. Hope the police have arrested them.
