Richmond star Jack Riewoldt burned by innocent umpire ‘disrespect’
https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/s...t/news-story/1fe807a07c18cb55d3ed5fdfae5a70ed
Jack Riewoldt had to eat a hilarious moment of innocent “disrespect” by an umpire in a heated start to Richmond’s battle with St Kilda on Thursday night.
Riewoldt was overlooked by the umpire before a ball-up deep in Richmond’s forward fifty - and it had hilarious consequences.
The star forward was Richmond’s nominated ruckman for the contest, but the sight of him preparing to take the ball-up was questioned by the on-field umpire who remained unsure if Riewoldt was the right man for the job despite Riewoldt making his involvement clear.
The umpire’s accidental questioning of Riewoldt’s prospects as a ruckman was followed by another accidental slap to Riewoldt’s face when the whistle-blower couldn’t remember Riewoldt’s name and instead referred to him as “Richmond”.
After the ball-up and an eventual behind, the umpire approached Riewoldt late in the first quarter to explain his mistake.
“Sorry Jack,” he said.
“Sorry mate, I didn’t see you there.”
The innocent moment left Channel 7 commentators Luke Darcy and Jobe Watson giggling.
Darcy said: “Jack’s just saying, ‘Why do I have to tell you I’m going for it?’
“I think he felt a lot of disrespect there Jack. ‘What, do you think I can’t take the ruck?’.”
Watson said: “I think he identified him as Richmond. I think Jack felt a little embarrassed, ‘He didn’t know who I was’.”
Riewoldt responded quickly in the second quarter by kicking his first goal of the game as the Tigers marched to a 54-29 lead at half time.

Could be in the rookie thread, could be in the ruck thread, could be in def or fwd as well given his position...
Since Draper went down Nik Cox has put up two 90s as a ruck. He's raw as anything but if he keeps up that kind of scoring is he worth asking the question about?
How has he looked in the matches?

$250k and DPP? He's only gone up $75k on his starting price and an average of 80 still sees another $150k profit.
I don't think the ship has sailed quite yet - its leaving the harbour for sure but not over the horizon

I'm dually conflicted bringing in rookies that have risen, and that are Essendon players.
Edit: Just another thought, @Leroy is that Reid is coming in this week. I'd suggest this means less ruck time for 2MP - allowing him to remain forward, but just a consideration with Cox as well.
