Nick Riewoldt’s hilarious f-bomb reaction to cousin Jack drawing level with him for AFL goals
Nick Riewoldt’s hilarious F-bomb reaction to cousin Jack drawing level with him on 718 AFL goals with a monster 55-metre torpedo punt on the three-quarter time siren
Richmond’s win over the Western Bulldogs was a historic moment for the Riewoldt family, as Jack booted two goals to draw level with his cousin Nick in the AFL’s all-time goalkicking list.
The former Saint kicked 718 goals in his decorated career and in his role of Fox Footy commentator was a spectator as his cousin matched his milestone at the MCG on Saturday night.
Nick, however, didn’t seem particularly too pleased to see Jack equal his record.

The former Saints captain joked he wanted his cousin to miss as he lined up the kick
Footage shown on Fox Footy’s Best on Ground after the game showed Riewoldt jokingly mocking his cousin’s chances of equaling his record
‘No chance,’ Riewoldt can be heard saying as the Tigers star lines up to kick a goal at the end of the third quarter.
Unfortunately for Nick, Jack made no mistake as his incredible 55-metre torpedo punt sailed through the posts on the three-quarter time siren.
The former Saints star initially appeared to be magnanimous in his reaction, before he jokingly quipped ‘F*** o**, Jack’ and gave the middle finger.
The ex-St Kilda captain eventually got some sort of revenge, as the Tigers forward missed a kick for goal on the final siren that would have lifted him above him in the all-time rankings.
‘Miss … yeah!’, Nick said.
‘I’m sick of him. I’ve had to live with the premierships, he plays Mr Brightside every time we catch up – I’ve had enough.’
Jack Riewoldt kicked two goals in Richmond’s 99-61 win over the Bulldogs on Saturday
The second goal was the veteran Tigers forward’s 718th in his AFL career
Drawing him level with former Saints captain and cousin Nick in 21st place on the VFL/AFL most career goals list
Riewoldt did indeed miss, meaning the two cousins remain joint 21st on the VFL/AFL most career goals list at least until the Tigers play Adelaide next week.
The Riewoldts shared a good laugh over the footage as Jack joined the Best on Ground show after the game, with Nick admitting he was delighted for his cousin.
The Tigers veteran’s two goals came as Richmond defeated the Western Bulldogs 99-61 to climb up to 10th on the ladder.
