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!

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.
