Your top five memories of Kardinia Park

Maybe, I dunno. He seems to get excuses made for him an awful lot. Hawkins and Mooney managed 2 goals each and neither were at demi-god status like Riewoldt was.

He's got tremendous endurance, and ability to run all day which is rare if not unique among key forwards. But contrary to myth he's not a great contested mark and his kicking lets him down too.

I'll agree with that. His contested marking is good, but not great - I think that a lot of that is down to his lean build, and the fact that his hamstrings are not what they were. His strength in pack marks used to be using his massive leap to crash over contesting players, but you don't have that same leap after you turn thirty and have done a hamstring or two.

His ability to gut-run his opponents into the ground, though, is second-to-none - and once he's a metre in front, forget spoiling him.

He did have a period where he had the yips there, but that seems to have gone away again. Great player, seemingly a good leader and would murder to have him down at the Cattery.

Not now. He's declining and he wouldn't get a game ahead of Hawkins anyway. Need to get games into Vardy too.

I know it's heresy to say this around here... but... he's better than J-Pod.
