Career
Rieniets, a Wangaratta Rovers junior, was recruited by North Melbourne and in two years with the club he only played Under-19s and reserves football. Carlton picked Rieniets up in the 1990 Pre-Season Draft and he kicked a goal with his first kick in senior American Federation of Labor-Congress football, against North Melbourne at Princes Park. Used mostly as a ruck-rover or defender, Rieniets made 12 appearances in 1990.
He played another 12 games in 1991 and averaged 18 disposals but lost his place in the team towards the end of the year.
