Team success is a major motivational factor for Richmond spearhead, Jack Riewoldt, in season 2013.

Riewoldt has achieved a good deal of individual success over the past three years, winning two Coleman Medals, for being the competition’s leading goalkicker, a Jack Dyer Medal, as the Tigers’ Best and Fairest winner, and earning All-Australian selection.

But it’s the opportunity to help create a successful Richmond outfit that drives Riewoldt.

Richmond is hunting 60,000 members in season 2013. Add your voice to the ‘Roar’ and become a member today.

“It gets to the stage in your career where you start to look past individual stuff.  For my personal goals, a lot of them stem into how the forward line goes this year,” he said in an exclusive interview with the Club’s official podcast, “Talking Tigers”, on the eve of the new season.

“Especially early on in your career, you look to get a game, then you want to have an impact, and then you want to be regarded as a senior player, week in, week out.

“And then it gets to the stage, where you haven’t had as much (team) success as what you want, and you start to look outside the box a little bit...How can I improve Jake King?  How can I improve Tyrone Vickery?

“So, my goals this year are purely based around improving my teammates. Firstly, playing my role for the side, which obviously is to kick goals and be involved in goals. That’s my No. 1 goal. But then it’s how can I improve? How can I become a better leader to make the Richmond Football Club better.

“I’ll just continue to work along that selfless line of trying to improve the team...trying to improve our midfield, trying to improve our backline...

“Hopefully, that can lead us to where we want to go this year and in years to come.”
