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

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
