As our back six looked so settled against the crows on the w.e i was thinking that rivers' spot in the team may not be required down back. Having said this i still believe he is in our best 22 and deserves his place in the side. So maybe we could chuck him down forward and try him as a KPF? He is a big tall strong body that has good skills, he also has a bit of 'go' in him which we need to create more forward pressure, anyway jst a though given we are struggling so much for goals and i generally believe he could do some sort of job down forward. ur thoughts?

    A scarecrow up forward would me more useful than our current forward line. At least the scarecrow won't flood down the ground and will be in the forward 50 to mark when the ball is coming in to the 50.

    Rivers is handy, not sure if he is a short term solution up forward but it can't hurt.

    Willing to try anything at this point.

    i was going to start a similar thread...

    personally i think Rivers has little or no future at the MFC i think he will end up like mclean (never fit & will be on the way out soon)

    would not be surprised if hes up for trade or in the pre season draft come years end

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
