He has goaled in every one of those games, starting with the Round 13 fixture against Adelaide at Adelaide Oval (one goal), and has a best return of three in Round 15 against St Kilda at Marvel Stadium.

“He’s a great, young kid . . . he’s just taken a bit of time to develop,” Riewoldt told Channel Seven.
