Does the rise of McDonald spell the end for Rivers?

RRover quote=Neeld has hand-picked captains and a leadership group he feels will best reflect his footballing ethos moving forward. Let's trust his judgement.

Rover quote=Also, you are underestimating what Watts can become in 2013. We need quick, agile, athletic rebounders. Not old school floating backmen like Rivers IMO.

"What other choice is there"?...to quote Range Rover

Lots of choices I would think...Jones, Clark or Cloke. The thought of these guys playing under Trengove is like Lilley, Marsh and the Chappell's playing under Kim Hughes...actually much worse!

Then he goes on about "real change" . What change RR??

You need to learn how to use the Quote function.

And the point that RR was making is that the coach is the coach and should be, as all coaches are, imbued with all the power that coaches are entitled to.

Players should enjoy no equivalent power, especially if they have a record of failure and poor off-field behaviour.

You may be right there, but room does need to be made on the list and he is yet to break into the senior side.

Well to me, and I have no inside info how he trains etc, he has a lot of attributed you'ld want in an AFL footy player.

I think he's only played 2 seasons, so that is nowhere near enough time to develop properly.

In a Power club like the Hawks of the 80's it was normal for the reserves players to play 100 reserve games, before they became senior players.

Davis is quick by foot, is as hard as a rock & reminds me of a young Gary Ayers. He kicks well most times, mostly when on the move. I've seen him kick some average set shots for Goal.

To me he is a must keep from what I've seen.

I could probably find 10 listed I'd move on before him... He's the future.

  • 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.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
