Pre-game routines with Jack and Tom

Presented by McDonald's, Jack Riewoldt and Tom Lynch discuss their pre-game routines.

Richo says:

“Critical component of the Tigers’ line-up again in 2020. Not missing a game after breaking his hand in Round 5 showed huge courage from a marking player. As a key forward you should never get outmarked, and he never does, even against multiple defenders. Was huge against St Kilda in the semi-final in his best game of season. His physicality and aggression instils confidence in teammates. And the capacity to deal with adversity this year speaks volumes of his character.”
