In his inspirational memoir, Jack Riewoldt reveals all about his remarkable AFL career and how a positive attitude helped him overcome his toughest moments on and off the field.

After booting two goals to help the Richmond Tigers secure a drought-breaking premiership win over Adelaide in 2017, Jack Riewoldt jumped on stage at the MCG to sing 'Mr Brightside' with The Killers - one of his all-time favourite bands.

The song became his war cry.

The Bright Side dives into every important win, including Richmond's recent premierships, as well as the losses that helped Jack learn and build resilience. Jack's positive attitude helped him overcome a brush with cancer, the loss of his much-loved cousin Maddie - sister of Nick Riewoldt, with whom Jack remains a spokesman for the charity in her name - and the misunderstanding that dogged much of his career.

In The Bright Side, Jack finally corrects some of the misperceptions. From mischievous youngster to revered leader of the game, it was family and community that pulled Jack through and allowed him to become an AFL legend. Now Jack shares the lessons he has learned in the hope that it will help others find brightness during challenging times.
