Triple Richmond premiership star key forward Jack Riewoldt has reached the 50-goal milestone for the ninth time in his illustrious AFL career.
Riewoldt’s three-goal haul in last Saturday’s final home-and-away round clash with Hawthorn at the MCG took his 2021 season’s tally to 51.
Only Club ‘Immortal’ Jack Titus has more 50-goal totals in a season for the Tigers than Riewoldt.
Titus kicked 50 goals or more in a season 10 times during his playing days at Tigerland. Matthew Richardson did it eight times Dick Harris six and Michael Roach five.
Riewoldt also has taken out Richmond’s leading goalkicker award, the Michael Roach Medal, for the 11th time.
And he finished third in the competition’s Coleman Medal behind Geelong’s Tom Hawkins (54 goals) and Carlton’s Harry McKay (58 goals).
