By rights it should be called the Matthew Richardson role, the one that Nick Riewoldt now plays of starting on a wing then drifting forward, since Richo pioneered it for modern times. After Rooey's 2016, we might have to rename it because he took it to a new level. He posted career highs in disposals and marks at the age of 33, saving the best for last with nine goals and a fantasy double ton in round 23. Riewoldt is the supreme fantasy player of the millennium. Others might have scored more points at times, especially the midfielders who get more opportunity. Rooey has produced for fantasy coaches again and again for over 300 games, and if you had his 200 for your grand final, congratulations! The Saint forward structure will remain the same in 2017, and his preparation is still second to none. He deserves consideration for the first round of your draft.

Riewoldt has it all to do
After being a consistent Supercoach and Dream Team scorer for more than five years, Nick Riewoldt looked better than ever in the first two rounds of season 2010. Looking more fired up after last years grand final loss, Riewoldt opened the season with 108/163 and 147/164. This prompted many fantasy coaches to install him as captain for the following round.
In hindsight, this was probably not a great decision, after injury struck later in the second quarter leaving Nick with a grand total of 20/25.
Riewoldt has been on the road to recovery for almost 10 weeks now, and is expected to return in round 15-16, and all eyes will be on him. He should drop around $100,000 because of his injury interrupted round 3 but by about Round 19, if all the stars align, Nick Riewoldt could be the one last ingredient for your fantasy team.
