He was however considered both short and slow for his position, with North Melbourne recruiting manager Neville Stibbard later remarking that he did not believe Riewoldt was "athletic or tall enough to play key position at either end (of the field)." Richmond recruiting manager Francis Jackson later recalled Riewoldt's impressive football smarts and his ability to read the flight of the ball as key factors in his recruitment.

2011 season

Prior to the start of the 2011 season Riewoldt was added to the Richmond's six man leadership group.

He worked his way into unprecedented form in the following six matches however, kicking four goals four times and bags of five on two occasions. His form remained strong for the rest of the season, despite lower goal kicking tallies the result of Hardwick enacting his pre-season plan to play Riewoldt further up the ground. For the second straight year he won the club leading goalkicker award and played in each of the club's 22 matches. Riewoldt's 62 goals saw him place second in the race for the Coleman Medal behind

2012 season

Following an off-season of surgeries and recovery, Riewoldt started the season inaccurately, kicking five goals and nine behinds through his first three matches. He was back to his best by mid-season through, kicking bags of six and eight goals in back-to-back matches in round 9 and 10 against and respectively.

He was considered a controversial omission according to Warwick Green and Matt Windley of the Herald Sun. He placed ninth at the club in the season's best and fairest award.


2013 season

The 2012-13 off-season again saw Riewoldt going under the knife for minor surgeries, the recovery of which forced him onto a limited training load. Before the season had officially begun Riewoldt had already shown his worth, kicking a goal after the siren to win Richmond's

after he reacted angrily to teammates following the close loss. All season Riewoldt had been the subject of media speculation concerning his contract and playing future. He was reported to have received offers from Fremantle, but preempted trade approaches by signing a new three-year deal with Richmond in late July. After 17 rounds Riewoldt was placed third on the league's goal-kicking tally, having amassed 47 to that point. He finished the season with 57 goals, his lowest tally since 2009 but still managed to win a fourth straight club leading goalkicker award. He played in his first career final in September, when Richmond lost to in an elimination final at the

2014 season

In February 2014, Riewoldt was dropped from Richmond's five-player leadership group, replaced by defender Troy Chaplin. This, along with a plan by the coach to play him in a "traditional centre half forward role", saw Riewoldt approaching the season differently than he had in some time. He reduced his playing weight in the off-season, increasing his fitness base while also recovering from minor off-season surgery to his knee and hip. Riewoldt's performance in the round 1 loss to was labelled "relatively poor" by the coach, with the forward recording less than 10 disposals and only one goal for the first time since round 8, 2012. He was reported for tripping in round 3, but escaped with only a reprimand after the AFL Match Review panel deeming the offence unworthy of suspension. He was chastised by club officials in May, when he spoke out publicly against the effectiveness of the team's new short-kicking game style. Hardwick jokingly explained to the media that the club had "moved (Riewoldt's) foot from his mouth and my foot from his arse". He publicly apologised via Twitter, and avoided the selection axe as a result. His on-field response was significant, when he booted a career-high 11 goals in Richmond's 113 point win over the

For the second straight season, Riewoldt and the Tigers would qualify for the AFL finals, but were again eliminated after just one match. He finished the season having kicked 61 goals and winning Richmond's goalkicking award for the fifth consecutive year. He became just the second player in the club's history to kick 50 goals in five straight seasons, following

in 1934–1938.


2015 season

After an emotional off-season which included the death of his cousin Maddie, Riewoldt endured an equally emotional round 1. He kicked four goals in Richmond's win over Carlton and was seen dedicating his performance to her memory by pointing to the sky after each of his goals. He hit a strong run of form in rounds 5 to 8, kicking 14 goals and averaging more than seven marks over the four week period. In round 13 he would kick his biggest tally of the season, with six goals against at the SCG. round 16's match-up with St Kilda was marked as "''Maddie's match,''" raising funds for the Riewoldt cousins' cause ''Maddie's Vision''. He kicked two goals in Richmond's winning side.

For the second time in his career Riewoldt earned selection to the AFL's All-Australian team, this time in the position of centre-half forward. He also placed fifth in Richmond's best and fairest, securing the Kevin Bartlett medal. Riewoldt also broke a Richmond record in 2015, surpassing Jack Titus to become the first Richmond player to kick more than 50 goals in six consecutive seasons. Riewoldt signed a contract extension in late June, keeping him contracted to Richmond through at least the end of the 2019 season.

faced calls to resign the position in late 2015, Riewoldt was named as a possible replacement. He quashed the speculation, explaining "I can't even entertain the question (of becoming captain) because in my eyes I think (Cotchin) is the best person to captain our football club." On-field, the season saw Riewoldt continue his transition to the centre-half forward position. He improved his endurance, agility and leaping ability by shedding weight and focusing on the game further from the goal line. He suffered a minor ankle injury in round 5 and required an intense program of icing and rehabilitation to be ready for his club's round 6 match with .

After what was a year labelled a backward step by the club's coach, Riewoldt was surrounded by trade speculation by media outlets. He reiterated his commitment to the club, claiming he was "yellow and black all the way" despite confirming in later years that he had begun to doubt he would ever achieve significant team success with the club.


2017 season

Riewoldt's 2017 pre-season was hampered by lingering injury concerns. He underwent what was expected to be minor ankle surgery in September 2016, before the procedure was changed to a full ankle reconstruction midway through as a result of the surgeon uncovering more severe damage. In November he went under the knife again, this time to repair damage to a previously broken finger. He was appointed Richmond's co-vice-captain in March 2017. He was to share the role with defender

In round 13 he notched his 214th AFL match, passing Dick Clay for the most games played by a Richmond player in the number eight guernsey. His two and three goal games in rounds 13 and 14 brought his streak of consecutive games with multiple goals to 10. He was the only player in the competition to hold that streak at the time and held fifth place in the year's goalkicking tally. Riewoldt was one of a number of poor performer's in Richmond's round 16 loss to St Kilda, kicking just one goal and gathering seven possessions in the 67 point loss. What's more, Riewoldt's first possession did not come until the eighth minute of the game's second quarter. An accidental poke in the eye from teammate Mabior Chol during training caused Riewoldt to suffer a cut cornea and bleeding behind the eye. The injury resulted in him missing Richmond's round 19 match against the and brought to an end Riewoldt's steak of 86 consecutive games played.

2019 season

for outright fourth place on Richmond's all-time goalkicking leaderboard. In a round 2 loss to , Riewoldt suffered an apparently minor wrist injury. He played out the remainder of the match despite the injury, including stints in the ruck. Scans completed the following day revealed Riewoldt had suffered a small un-displaced fracture of the radius and some wrist ligament damage. In the same match Riewoldt also suffered a sprain to the medial cruciate ligament in his left knee. After missing three matches due to those injuries, Riewoldt returned to football and kicked two goals in Richmond's round 6 ANZAC Day eve win over . He would suffer another knee injury in the match however, sustaining high-grade damage to the posterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. Richmond club officials said the injury would not require surgery to repair but that Riewoldt would still miss between six and eight weeks as a result. During that match he was also reported for a dangerous tackle on 's

for which he was offered a $1,000 fine. Riewoldt challenged the charge at the AFL Tribinal where he was unsuccessful, with the fine ultimately increased to $1,500. Riewoldt had resumed running by the first week of June, targeting an AFL return against later that month in round 15. He missed that target by two weeks, returning in a round 17 victory over the

praised his unselfish play in support of in-form teammate Lynch through the rest of July. In round 22's win over , Riewoldt was twice called for a free kick against, after putting his foot into the back of his opponent's back in two separate marking contests. In the week that followed, the AFL announced the rule would be relaxed to only include more dangerous acts likely to cause harm, so that free kicks of the type paid against Riewoldt would no longer be paid. In the final round of the home and away season, Riewoldt kicked four first quarter goals on defender Marcus Adams but managed no further goals when later defended by Darcy Gardiner for the rest of the match. After Richmond finished the season in third place, Riewoldt kicked three goals in a 47-point qualifying final victory over the . He was considerably less impactful in the preliminary final that followed, recording just one handball as his only disposal in the first half and ultimately going goalless as his side defeated and won through to a grand final matchup against . In the grand final, Riewoldt kicked a match-high five goals as Richmond won a second premiership in three years, exploiting the lack of speed of Giants defender Phil Davis who was almost a late withdrawal with a calf injury. His haul included three second-quarter goals that had him be the number one statistically rated player on the ground at half time and eventually earned him fourth place in Norm Smith Medal voting for the player of the match. Riewoldt's five goals and one behind (31 points) made him the fourth player in AFL/VFL history and the first player in 59 years to single-handedly outscore the opposition team (25 points) in a grand final.

into Australia by mid-March saw the future of the season in doubt, including Riewoldt and 's premiership defense. The AFL commission eventually announced the start of the season would proceed as scheduled, but without fans in attendance due to public health prohibitions on group gatherings. With the expectation that a significant break would be necessary mid-season, the league also announced the season would be completed with a modified 17-round fixture and with quarter lengths reduced by one fifth in order to reduce the load on players who would be expected to play multiple matches with short breaks in the back half of the year. Under those conditions, Riewoldt kicked an equal team-high three goals in a round 1 win over which saw him named in ''AFL Media's'' Team of the Week. Just three days later however, the AFL commission suspended the season for an indefinite period after multiple states enforced quarantine conditions on their borders. Riewoldt attracted media scrutiny for poor performances when the season resumed in early-June after an 11-week hiatus, following goalless matches in rounds 2 and 3. He began a seven-week unbroken goalkicking run the following round, during which time he and the club were relocated to the Gold Coast in response to a virus outbreak in Melbourne. Riewoldt served as club captain for a three-week stretch between rounds 6 and 8, in place of the injured

. In round 10 he kicked a personal season-best four goals in a win over the , before adding another three while captaining the side for a one-off game in Cotchin's absence in round 11. He was one of Richmond's best in round 12, earning one Coaches Award vote for a two-goal contribution in that win over . He earned another nine votes as equal best on ground in round 17's win over , kicking four goals. Riewoldt finished the regular season having kicked 28 goals, ultimately securing equal-sixth place in the Coleman Medal race. He kicked two goals in the opening match of the club's finals campaign, a qualifying final loss to the , before being held goalless and to a season-low four disposals in a semi-final victory over one week later. Despite that poor statistical showing, Riewoldt was praised by coach Damien Hardwick for that performance during the week that followed, in particular for an ability to negate opposition intercept defenders in marking contests. Likewise in a preliminary final win over , Riewoldt earned Hardwick's public praise for splitting marking packs despite kicking only one goal and going without a mark for the first time since 2015. Riewoldt earned more scoreboard recognition the following week, becoming a three-time premiership player while kicking two goals in a 31-point grand final victory over . Riewoldt also earned a tenth club leading goalkicker award for his 33 goals that year, while placing equal-14th in the club's best and fairest count for a season in which he features in all 21 possible matches.
