Richmond’s star spearhead, Jack Riewoldt, has become just the second player in Tigerland history to kick 50 goals or more in four consecutive seasons.
Riewoldt, with his third goal in Sunday’s 47-point loss to Sydney at the SCG, reached the 50-goal milestone for the fourth year running.
The great Jack Titus is the only Tiger to better that achievement.

Titus, who is Richmond’s all-time leading goalkicker, with 970, booted 50 goals-plus in five successive seasons from 1934-38.
Riewoldt scored 78 goals in 2010, 62 in 2011, 65 in 2012, and has 50 on the board with five home-and-away games left this season.
He won the Coleman Medal in 2010 and 2012, and is currently in equal third place in the competition’s leading goalkicker award, behind Hawthorn’s Jarryd Roughead and West Coast’s Josh Kennedy.
The 24-year-old, who was recruited to Richmond from Tasmanian club Clarence, has a total of 312 goals in his 129 games for the Tigers, making him the 10th highest goalkicker in the Club’s history.
Last week, it was announced that Riewoldt had signed a three-year contract extension with Richmond, binding him to the Club until at least the end of the 2016 season.
