What's with the lack of responses here??????

One of my fav players purely because of the way he continually puts his body on the line despite his HORRID run of injuries!!!

I feel he is just starting to grasp the gameplan down back and is beginning to gel quite well with the others.

Here's hoping for an injury-free 2011 and beyond for the 2004 Rising Star winner!

    The FD obviously love him - appears too slow and too small - must be "the General" out there.

    Too slow... yes he is slow but as the season went on he found his feet as a player who doesn't NEED speed. He is a fantastic mark and the coaching staff did well in making Jared's role that of being third man up and where he didn't need to use pace. He'd be right back in defense playing contested footy because that's where his best footy comes out.

    The General? Definitely. :)

    Improved as the year went on. Kicking out of defense is a worry though.

    Yep - saw a couple of blunders of his. The worst being against Essendon was it?? Where Neagle intercepted and kicked the first goal? Ugh!

    At the start of the year I thought Riv would struggle to hold his place in our best 22, but I'm very happy to be proven wrong. His courage, marking and spoiling (and apparently his leadership) are great attributes, but I still worry about his kicking, and the ease with which he can be left behind on a quick lead by opposition forwards.

    Haha after reading what you said I remembered this line from the MFC website from the article on the Dees Shanghai Trip (Day No. 3).

    Matt Burgan writes regarding training high up on a mountain on some tennis courts:

    "With the court perched up on the mountain, it required a higher than average size fence. Fortunately, no Sherrins bounced over and rolled down the mountain never to be seen again.

    But it’s understood one Jared Rivers’ skewed kick came extremely close (according to one source)!"

    Haha :P

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
