2010 Player Review - # 27 Jared Rivers

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

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • 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.
