Watching Rivers in the last few weeks has made me think that he is pretty much back to top form. While a couple of his disposals were a bit wayard, he is running back into packs, taking marks, arriving at the nick of time to spoil, organising the backline, and he has sure taken some angry pills. I think he might be getting grumpier in his more mature years. If there is any niggle to be had, you can bet he will be there. As far as his errant kicking is concerned, this has always been there in his game and doesn't concern me too much because he does so many good things. The added bonus is that he has played so many games in a row without injury (fingers crossed). Go you angry young man!

    As long as he's getting under the skin of players such as Mark McVeigh, etc and keeps everything in check, as well as doing his job each week which he has been doing of late (and doing well mind you)....he's a required player.

    I'm not really sure what all the fuss was about to begin with. Even his first game this year for us has been quite good. Mind you, he's gotten better and better, but I never felt he was past it or not a required player. He's a solid backman who will be required if we're wanting a premiership in 4-5 yrs time.

    I agree its been great to see Rivers back. He missed the best of 3 years football and he has been streadily improving as the season has gone on. I would not say he is back to his best yet but if he can stay on the feild for the rest of the season and not get injured, he will come back next season fit, comfident and ready to take his game to the next level.

    The same goes to both Moloney and Sylvia.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
