1. Jumping Jack

Jack Riewoldt has hit a rich vein of form. The last month of football has seen him fly for big contested grabs and kick efficiently for goal. Riewoldt is averaging 2.3 marks inside 50 and has kicked 17 goals since Round 10. With Tom Lynch out due to injury, the forward 50 will belong to Jack this week.
